Ocean Hackathon® is a national and international non-profit event designed to develop innovative prototypes in 48 hours using marine data. It fosters collaboration between researchers, developers, entrepreneurs and ocean enthusiasts to propose solutions for the preservation and enhancement of marine resources.
Registration is now open. We invite you to discover the challenges here: Cork- Challenges.
The Cork edition will take place in person, at the Cork County Council Headquarters, County Hall, Carrigrohane Road.
The Cork Ocean Hackathon® 2026 takes place on 16th – 18th October 2026 to develop and prototype innovative challenges focusing on the conservation and restoration of our oceans and related biodiversity and the resilience of our coasts for use / navigation, in fighting the effects of climate change (through mitigation and adaptation), etc.
The event is being ran by the Cork County Council (local authority and partner of the associated UPWELLING Interreg Atlantic Area project) and University College Cork (MaREI)(research centre and UPWELLING project partner) and volunteers from other Irish partners in the UPWELLING project (i.e. Dublin City University (DCU)) and organisations in oceanic and blue economy sectors in Ireland.
Four challenges that match the Ocean Hackathon® 2026 criteria have been selected and will be tested at the Cork Ocean Hackathon® 2026 by the applicants, participants (SME’s / Start-ups, innovators, entrepreneurs, academics / students, etc.) and volunteers. The Cork Ocean Hackathon® 2026 will create a direct local platform for innovation, skills development, and transnational collaboration — central objectives of the UPWELLING project.
All participants must register.
