Chapter

6-8 March, 2026 Oradea International Airport (OMR)

Now It’s Time to
Build What’s Next.

Airports power global movement—millions of people, systems, and decisions every day. As demand grows and technology evolves, airports need bold, practical innovation.

This hackathon is your chance to solve real airport challenges and build solutions that can scale in the real world.

Defense & Security

Design smarter, automated security systems that detect risks early—without slowing operations.

Operations at Scale

Reimagine how complex airport systems work together. Break silos, optimize resources, and build resilient infrastructure.

Passenger Flow

Eliminate bottlenecks. Use data, automation, and smart design to create faster, smoother passenger journeys.

Challenges Categories

Airport Defence

Build cutting-edge systems that detect threats faster, secure critical zones, and protect thousands of passengers using next-gen AI, sensors, and automation. For innovators who want to push the limits of safety tech.

Airport Infrastructure

Reinvent the hidden engine of the airport—ground ops, maintenance, logistics, staff coordination, and equipment tracking—by designing tools that make operations faster, smarter, and more resilient.
For builders who love solving complex, real-world engineering puzzles.

Come with your own challenge

Build cutting-edge systems that detect threats faster, secure critical zones, and protect thousands of passengers using next-gen AI, sensors, and automation. For innovators who want to push the limits of safety tech.

Airport UX

Create seamless, stress-free journeys by rethinking queues, navigation, communication, and service touchpoints through human-centered tech and bold digital experiences. For creators who want to transform how millions of people move through the world.
