The deadline to apply is: Midnight Wednesday 18th June 2025.

Who is eligible?

We welcome applications from individuals across disciplines who are passionate about driving innovation in plant science and sustainable agriculture. Whether you're a scientist working in plant biology, a coder with a knack for solving complex problems, an entrepreneur developing agri-tech solutions - this hackathon is for you. Cross-disciplinary collaboration is at the heart of this event, and we encourage applicants from all backgrounds who are ready to build impactful solutions.

Our ideal candidate

🌱 Researchers, students, and professionals working in fields related to plant biology. Whether you're studying how plants grow under stress, developing disease-resistant crops, exploring plant-microbe interactions, or applying genomics to improve yields - you bring valuable expertise to this hackathon. Your insights into how plants function and adapt are essential for developing sustainable, resilient agricultural systems.

💻 Developers, data scientists, engineers, or technical enthusiasts with skills in programming, AI/ML, software development, or bioinformatics. Whether you're experienced in managing large datasets, building data pipelines, developing custom tools, or integrating APIs, your technical skills can help bridge the gap between plant science and scalable digital solutions. You don’t need a background in biology - just curiosity, creativity, and a drive to collaborate across disciplines.

Although we are focused on these types of candidates, we also warmly welcome participants from other backgrounds - anyone passionate about building a more sustainable and food-secure future.

What’s in it for you?

This hackathon is more than just a competition - it’s a chance to collaborate with leading minds in plant science, technology, and sustainability. You’ll gain hands-on experience solving real-world challenges, expand your professional network, and explore cutting-edge tools and ideas shaping the future of agriculture. All teams will have the opportunity to win prizes, showcase their solutions to experts, and even receive mentorship or support to keep developing their ideas beyond the event. If you're willing to innovate, learn, or make a real-world impact - this is your platform.
