Impact Hackathon on 25 April 2025

Do you sometimes feel lost in your studies, new to the city, or isolated while working from home? You’re not alone – according to a recent study, over 50% of young adults in Germany feel moderately to severely lonely. That’s exactly where the Impact Hackathon comes in: together, we’ll develop smart, digital solutions to combat social isolation and create real societal impact.

What to expect: In interdisciplinary teams, you’ll spend a day working on one of three exciting challenges focused on the topic of loneliness. Whether it’s an app, a platform, or a concept – you’ll develop digital prototypes that can truly make a difference.

Whether you're studying IT, design, business, or something in between – you don’t need any prior knowledge, just motivation, creativity, and a passion for teamwork. All fields of study are welcome!
You’ll be supported by the Startup Service and the Sectorlens team, who will provide guidance and feedback throughout the day.

Participation is free – but spots are limited.

And of course: food and drinks are on us – expect pizza, drinks, and to top it all off, a small after-show party!

Sign up now and be part of a day full of ideas, impact, and new connections.

The focus is on these challenges:

Circle of Me - Micro-communities through personalized matching algorithms
MoodMate - A chatbot that recognizes how you feel
Hack Loneliness - Your own idea against loneliness
