We are thrilled to announce the first edition of the BERLIN QUANTUM Hackathon! Starting this January, six selected teams will compete over six weeks to develop quantum solutions for real-world challenges submitted by Berlin-based organizations.
What participants will gain:
- Hands-on access to the Kipu Quantum Hub, including quantum algorithms and hardware from IBM, IQM, and more
- Expert mentorship and support from Berlin’s quantum ecosystem
- Top prizes: up to €9,000 in quantum hardware access and a trip to Berlin for the finals in Spring 2026
First challenge: Brain-Computer Interfaces & Neuromodulation, proposed by the Clinical NeuroTechnology Lab at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
This initiative is part of our vision to make Berlin an internationally recognized hotspot for quantum technologies by fostering research, industry partnerships, and technology transfer.
