What is a Hackathon?

Artefact’s hackathons leverage the latest in data and AI technologies and the power of cross-functional collaboration to rapidly prototype and pitch solutions to integrate into the company’s innovation roadmap. This methodology enhances business outcomes and accelerates decision-making processes.

A hackathon is the new team meeting. It replaces multiple one-hour meetings with a single half-day to three-day event where teams from 20 to 120 people collaboratively tackle problems and make decisions faster. We support each team with design thinking experts and DS/DA/DE professionals for guidance and innovation.
