Hackathon Vienna 2026 is an interdisciplinary hackathon where medical students, software engineers, and data scientists come together to build real AI-driven solutions for real clinical challenges. This event is an official partner event of the European AI Innovation Month 2026, featured by the European Commission.
📅 October 29 – 30, 2026
📍 IBM Vienna, Ob. Donaustraße 95, 1020 Wien
What happens: Teams of medical students, engineers, and data scientists form around use cases provided by industry and healthcare partners in Vienna. Over 24 hours, they design, build, and pitch working AI prototypes addressing real problems from clinical practice, not hypothetical case studies.
Why this matters: Austria's MedTech ecosystem is full of talented people who understand either the clinical side or the technical side, but rarely both. This hackathon is where that gap closes. Participants leave with a working prototype, direct exposure to industry partners, and a place in Vienna's most curated network of clinical-technical talent.
Who should apply:
Medical students and clinicians with an interest in technology
Software engineers and data scientists interested in healthcare
Anyone who wants to build something real, fast, with people who think differently than they do
Format:
24 hours, team-based, with real use cases from industry and healthcare partners
Mentoring throughout the event
Final pitches to a jury of industry and clinical experts
Working prototype + recap publication as outputs
Partners
Cognition, the team behind Devin, the AI software engineer, is partnering with us for this Hackathon. All participants will receive Devin credits to build with during the event.
Mentors & Speakers
