What is it?

The SF4C Hackathon is an immersive competition that allows participants to develop their entrepreneurial mindset while tackling real-world challenges facing the food sector.

During the event, food companies and organizations present real challenges to approximately ten teams made up of students and industry professionals. Teams may be formed in advance or assembled on-site, encouraging a diversity of expertise and perspectives.

Through a series of workshops and structured working sessions, participants analyze key issues, generate innovative ideas, and develop solution pathways tailored to the needs identified.

Throughout the process, teams receive guidance from experienced mentors recognized within the sector. Drawing on their knowledge, questions, and expertise, mentors help participants deepen their thinking, push their ideas further, and develop high-potential solutions.
