Wednesday, March 11, 2026, 1:00 PM–5:00 PM at Microsoft Denmark, Copenhagen – and online
An official AccessibleEU event.
On March 11, we brought together students, developers, designers, companies, politicians, and organizations for the finale of the Disability Tech Denmark Hackathon – From Idea to Real Inclusion: Transforming Lives through Tech – where technology, design, and inclusion met to create solutions with real impact.
After several days of intense work, interdisciplinary teams presented their prototypes, developed in close collaboration with users, experts, and partners. The focus was on concrete challenges and real needs – with one goal: to develop inclusive technologies that improve everyday life for people with disabilities.
The finale event featured inspiring talks, pitches from hackathon teams, panel discussion, and networking with key players in technology, research, and the disability sector.
The event was carried out in collaboration with a wide range of partners:
