It's time to celebrate impact innovation!

Last weekend marked the 6th CASSINI Hackathon: a powerful platform leveraging EU open-source earth observation satellite data and space technology for humanitarian aid and international development. We brought together dozens of change-makers at the wonderful Deutsches Museum in Munich.

We were seven teams, 80+ professionals with a shared vision of creating high impact digital tools for a good cause. The results were nothing short of groundbreaking.

Congratulations to all participants who poured their skills and passion into tackling global challenges head-on. Your dedication is truly inspiring!

A special round of applause goes out to the winning team, CosmoCare! Their vision to leverage earth observation data for monitoring forced migratory flows within specific regions aims to help resource allocation in refugee camps, putting human well-being first.

It's no surprise our esteemed jury awarded them the first prize – closely followed by our other projects.

Because all teams delivered extraordinary work, with ConCast securing second place, estimating war-time population levels and migratory flows. HarvestHope, in third place, used for food supply and price forecasting based on yield prediction. Tremendous effort all around!

A heartfelt thanks to our partners and sponsors, including the Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Landesentwicklung und Energie, the WFP Innovation Accelerator, Munich, EUSI, German Aerospace Center, DLR, Google, Technische Universität München, WeAreDevelopers, and many more. Your support made this event possible, and together, we're creating a lasting impact.

Clarification: What we mean with the "potential of satellite data for good"

They exemplify what we mean – from sustainable fishing to predicting food prices, and even population dynamics during crises.
