About
Our organization
The Hack Winterthur is a nonprofit event devoted to bringing ideas to life, in a very short time (over a single weekend). Participants work in teams to create awesome projects from scratch, learn new skills and have some fun along the way!
The hackathon is hosted by ZHAW and the Entrepreneur Club Winterthur and powered by Noser Engineering AG. Among other events, the Entrepreneur Club Winterthur is well known for the organization of the annual Startup Night with over 1’400 visitors.
The Hack Winterthur is part of MLH’s official 2020 Hackathon Season. We abide by the MLH Code of Conduct.
Our mission: Bringing ideas to life
Our mission is to bring people with an entrepreneurial mindset together and provide them with a platform to build innovative prototypes of products and services in an extremely short time. Challenges defined by industry partners guarantee the connection to the real economy.
We create an atmosphere of opportunity and promote the exchange of knowledge, which also goes beyond the event. We believe passionately in the power of ideas and their implementation to change lives and, ultimately, the world. Everything we do is driven by the goal: How can we best build a platform where great ideas can arise and be implemented quickly?
