JUNITEC will organise the 2nd edition of one of the most promising university events in Portugal on 2nd, 3rd and 4th March, at the Pavilion of Knowledge.

TecStorm is a national event that goes against the idea that hackathon is “just for coders”. It will allow university students to create a physical prototype, business plan and pitch.

After the success of the first edition, TecStorm’18 will offer participants new opportunities. This year the participants will have access to all material for free and will have the opportunity to contact with several companies and investors who will attend the event.

In 2018, a new category will be introduced in partnership with Patient Innovation: The Social Category. All those who don’t come up with an idea during the competition but want to help patients will have the opportunity to participate by developing innovative technological solutions. The teams will have the opportunity to develop a joint project with the patient.

Applications are open from January 15 to February 15. Useful information available at www.tecstorm.pt and Facebook JUNITEC.
