AdTech Holding, a leader in digital advertising and marketing technology, is excited to announce the upcoming HackTech 2025, set for a weekend in mid-November at The Warehouse by IT Quarter. This annual hackathon, now in its fourth year, invites tech enthusiasts and professionals to collaborate and develop solutions aimed at addressing one of Cyprus's most critical challenges: wildfires.

Collaborative Efforts to Fight Wildfires

Under the support of the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation, and Digital Policy, along with TechIsland and other significant partners, HackTech 2025 gathers diverse talents to foster innovation that can help the island combat devastating fires. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their ideas at a DemoFest, which connects them with investors and accelerators ready to propel their prototypes into workable solutions.

The Theme of the Hackathon

This year’s hackathon focuses on leveraging technology to effectively tackle the wildfire crisis. Participants will be encouraged to brainstorm and create practical IT solutions across three fundamental sectors: 

  • Prevention: Crafting tools that enhance awareness and reduce potential wildfire risks.
  • Real-time Response: Innovating solutions that improve coordination among emergency services during active fires.
  • Recovery: Developing initiatives that assist communities affected by wildfires and restore damaged ecosystems.

Event Details

Participants can register for the 48-hour hackathon, which welcomes up to 20 teams comprised of developers, designers, product managers, and IT professionals. Mentorship and support will be available from seasoned investors and government representatives throughout the event.

Encouraging Innovative Ideas

According to Alex Vasekin, CEO of AdTech Holding, "HackTech 2025 goes beyond being a mere coding competition; it embodies the spirit of using technology for positive societal impact. As Cyprus’s tech scene accelerates, we are eager to see how the ideas generated by participants can contribute to solving pressing issues like wildfires."
