The CASSINI Hackathons and Mentoring Programme gives a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the European Space and Defence sector, connect with like-minded individuals and organisations, and use your knowledge and skills to solve current Space and Defence challenges together as a team!

You'll spend two days with various mentors and professionals from the sector to ignite innovation with 3 challenges defined by DG DEFIS and EUSPA as a starting point. You will be challenged to use European Space Technologies to strengthen Europe's defence and security capabilities by leveraging all available European space data, information, and signals from Copernicus, Galileo, or exploiting possible future services to be provided by IRIS2.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
