Clean Energy Hack

    See event website

    The Clean Energy Hack combines city challenges with people who are passionate about solving them. In the process they lay the ground for large-scale, positive climate impact. Hackathon participants will work on innovative solutions with support and input from decision makers and experts in relevant fields. 

    We invite students, young professionals and experts within sustainable urban planning, energy transitions, renewables and other related fields to come together for three incredible days comprising an intensive collaborative hackathon, a Sustainable Urban Solutions conference and an ActionLab. Real, concrete challenges by international cities like Singapore and New York will be presented and worked upon throughout the days. 

    The Clean Energy events will consist of following days:

    • 22.05.2018: The Clean Energy Hack at DTU SkyLab

    • 23.05.2018: Selected groups pitching at the Sustainable Urban Solutions conference

    • 24.05.2018: ActionLab with the Student and Innovation House and Aalborg University.

    A full day of ideation, work and collaboration on city challenges from around the world. At the end of the day, the teams present their solutions before a panel of influential decision makers and city representatives.

    Sustainable Urban Solutions Conference and Awards

    The teams with the best solutions from the Hack will get to present at the Sustainable Urban Solutions conference in Copenhagen, where the cities themselves work with selected experts on their challenges.

    The winning team will be announced at the conference and will be awarded: 

    • Entry passes to the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona 13-15 November 2018, courtesy of Cleantech Scandinavia

    • A chance to pitch at the Nordic Pavillion at the Smart City Expo

    • Coaching by EIT Climate-KIC to prepare for the Expo

    ActionLab

    The ActionLab is a full day programme dedicated to scaling the impact of the hackathon solutions. All participating groups from the Clean Energy Hack are invited to an intensive day of elaborating on their ideas with help from experts within climate impact assessments, business modelling, public acceptance etc. By the end of the day, the groups are invited to share their progress in an informal setting at the closing reception.

    We hope that the presented ideas from the Hack can develop into tangible and scalable sustainable solutions for municipalities to implement. The hackathon thus presents a fantastic opportunity to contribute to mitigate climate change and create healthier, cleaner and more sustainable cities.

    It is preferred that applicants commit to attend all three days, but individual day sign-up is possible.

    We will handpick 60 talents for this incredible experience - do you want to be one of them? Apply before 6 May!
