More about the Ocean Hackathon®
Ocean Hackathon is a 48-hour challenge that aims to address the ocean’s greatest challenges by enhancing the value of marine and maritime data through innovation. This hackathon is an initiative by Campus Mondial de la Mer in France, which encourages sharing, the use of new digital technologies, and an entrepreneurial spirit. Since it was first launched in 2016, Ocean Hackathon has brought together a new community around the ocean and digital environments. This year, the 6th edition of the 48h Ocean Hackathon will be hosted in 18 cities around the world from November 5th to 7th.

Call for Challenges
Before opening registration to set up teams, we need challenges!
We are now looking for organizations (companies, universities, NPOs, …) that would be interested in submitting a challenge for the Ocean Hackathon in San Francisco. A challenge should be related to the sea and its preservation, be innovative, and require working on data. Providing data in addition to your challenge is a bonus. You can submit your challenge as an individual or a legal entity. If your challenge is selected, you will be able to support your team during the Hackathon weekend as the owner of the challenge and the expert of the area!
