About this event

The Fincantieri Maritime Dual-Use Hackathon comes to San Francisco, October 16–18.

Following the first edition in Rome, which brought together 70+ participants, including Italian Navy engineers, and produced five working prototypes, the challenge now crosses the Atlantic to the Bay Area’s deep-tech ecosystem.

Over 36 hours, engineers, developers, founders, researchers, and designers will form teams to build working solutions around real maritime and defense engineering challenges, with access to technical mentors, development hardware, and potential opportunities to continue developing the strongest concepts beyond the event.

Challenge Tracks

- OT Cybersecurity & Blast Radius Analysis - How do you stop one compromised system from taking down an entire ship? - Piping Layout Optimization - Can algorithms find better piping and cable layouts than traditional engineering workflows? - Software-Defined Vessel - What if ships could upgrade and change missions as easily as software platforms?
