Description

Latvian IT Cluster invites its members, partners and friends to the closing event of DIGICLUSTERS X-industry hackathon in Latvia – let’s look at what has been achieved and say thanks to everybody who has helped us build the event!

The central theme of the hackathon, which took place for the 3rd time and was supported by the Food Products Quality Cluster, was the food industry and its business challenges. Among the participants were Cannelle Bakery, Milzu!, Food Union, Balticovo and SFT Seafood. Alongside, the very first mini-hackathon took place with a goal to encourage food companies evaluate their business processes, write business canvas and gain ideas on how technologies can help them become more competitive. Among the participants were Latvijas Ķiploks, Taste CAPS, Oscar’s Fish and Fermentum.

The event is free of charge, but the registration is mandatory – the number of seats is limited. Please register HERE. Event will be held in Latvian, but synchronous translation will be available (please bring your smart phones with headphones!). Agenda is attached below:
