What is the Hackathon?

A weekend-long event where groups of people come together to create new solutions, products or businesses that can make a positive contribution to the world around them. All teams at the SportsPro Hackathon will – of course – be competing against each other, but simultaneously will share a common objective: driving sustainability in sport.

The deadline to enter is the 28th January 2023.

Such great energy throughout the event, thanks SportsPro for having me on board as a Mentor and organising it. Well done to all teams for working hard, wanting to do meaningful work with a social impact, bringing your fresh ideas and way of thinking to the table.

It was an honour to be a mentor to the students taking part in the SportsPro Hackathon themed on sustainability. The energy, passion and enthusiasm of the students taking part was fantastic to witness. I am confident the event has provided them with an excellent opportunity for personal development, which will aid them in their careers. It is safe to say that the future of the sports industry and indeed the planet should be in safe hands with these creative and purpose driven thinkers.
