The word Hackathon comes from the word Marathon (a long or difficult activity in a short period) and Hack, which means exploratory programming.

During a Hackathon, a short period of time which is about 24hrs to 48hrs or it can also extend upto a week. The concept of a hackathon is very simple. The programmer has to start coding from scratch and end it by delivering a working prototype. The idea of a hackathon is to collaboratively code in an extreme manner from start to end. It is often a sort of competition, where teams of programmers, developers, designers and project managers come together to design & build a nice product on different domains.

Hackathon was started in the open source community and it has now become very common among programmers. In today’s time hackathon is a big boom for autonomous transportation where the electric vehicles are designed fully automated which requires a high coding in the backend to develop an automated model.

During the hackathon event, people meet up to face different real-life problems. The coders and the business planners gather together and pitch ideas to build on an innovative model. EMPI is also walking on the same path of innovation and launching India’s First International Design, Technology & Business Festival for vehicles of the future. It is the part of a larger Mission focusing on New, Clean & Intelligent Mobility. Hackathon is the big event happening under Mission Mobility at EMPI.

In the hackathon event of EMPI the hack in conjunction with Industry and Government shall offer multiple “problem statement” tracks wherein college teams and start-ups shall battle each other in finding solutions non-stop within 30 hours.

So if you think you have a solution to the most pressing new, clean, intelligent mobility problems, join EMPIs Hackathon event and win exciting prizes and opportunity to interact with great mentors. Welcome to the grand event at EMPI campus on 2nd and 3rd Aug’19.
