The Belgian Navy Hackathon is an Open Innovation event. It brings together Navy personnel and civilian professionals, representing the entire Belgian maritime ecosystem.

On September 24 and 25, participants will work in small, multidisciplinary groups to imaginedevelop, and pitch projects for solving concrete, urgent challenges identified jointly by the Navy and the maritime ecosystem.

Winning projects will be presented during Captains of Industry Day at TECHNOFest 2024 on October 4.

Four challenges for this hackathon have been identified by the Navy staff and validated by representatives of the maritime ecosystem in four workshops.

Solving these hard challenges will take the knowledge and experience of dozens of people, and of course your fresh perspective, your ingenuity, and your ability to think creatively and strategically.

  • Underwater infrastructure protection
  • Anti-drone measures

  • Public Awareness for Accelerating Recruitment

  • Resilience of the Logistical Infrastructure

Testimonial

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
