Disability Tech Hackathon 2026

Disability Tech Hackathon is a 4-day hackathon where technology, design and inclusion come together. 15 cross-disciplinary teams create and prototype innovative solutions for people with disabilities, guided by users and experts from Disability Tech Denmark and Technology Leaving No One Behind.

You will work on real cases, gain user insights from end users, and tackle technical challenges guided by experienced experts. After three days of workshops, teamwork, and mentoring, the hackathon concludes with a grand finale at Microsoft, where the solutions are presented to a jury and key stakeholders from the tech, research, and disability sectors. The best ideas receive an award.

You will be able to work on 1 of 3 different cases:

• Case 1: Invisible disabilities
• Case 2: Relatives and close relations 
• Case 3: Communications
