This year’s top winners include:

Beko will now work in collaboration with the nine challenge winners as well as with the Beko Special Award winners to commercialise their products with the top tier European accelerator, Startup Wise Guys. This is on top of the €50,000 prize pool, that has been paid out to the winners. 

Utku Barış Pazar, Chief Strategy and Digital Officer, Arçelik, said: “Building upon the experience from the previous two hackathons, we are proud to conclude Europe’s largest sustainability hackathon, as well as the first-ever carbon-neutral one, with the participation of over five hundred attendees.

“This year, our mission for the event focused on the growing climate crisis and the risks posed by every tenth of a degree of additional warming to people, species, and ecosystems, making it urgent that we find effective ways to decarbonise and  reduce emissions.

“As such, it has been inspiring to see some of the brightest minds and forward thinkers coming together to create solutions for issues that affect us all. We are proud to get over 700 applicants with 51 early-stage startups and bring 94 teams from over 70 countries together to act for the same purpose: to create ideas for a positive impact on people and the planet.

“Congratulations to all fourteen winners and all the participants for showing what we can achieve when we come together and collaborate. We believe a culture of collaboration and innovation is the most effective way to tackle some of today’s urgent environmental challenges, and this event has gone some way to achieving this.”
