III Circular Innovation Hackathon
Over 24 hours, 150 vocational education students, organised into 30 teams, took part in the 3rd Circular Innovation Hackathon to respond to circular challenges proposed by 6 companies from the Balearic Islands across the six priority action areas defined in the Roadmap for the transition towards a circular tourism system in the Balearic Islands. Horizon 2025-2035: water, energy, materials, food, mobility and land-sea.
This Third edition, developed within reN · Balear Circular Hub, has been jointly organised by Impulsa Balears and the Regional Ministry of Education and Universities, through the Centre for Vocational Education and Training, Innovation and Development (CFINFP). In this way, the initiative has brought together the experience and track record of the Circular Innovation Hackathon and the Hackató InnovaFP.
