EVENTS & HACKATHONS
DESIGN & FACILITATION
HELPING YOU CREATE LEADERS
The team at Sapien Innovation has been part of Ireland's largest and longest-running events and hackathons.
​
David and Colin are two of the co-founders of Techstars Startup Week Dublin, a 5,000+ person celebration of entrepreneurship and innovation supported by Dublin City Council and Enterprise Ireland. In addition, they have facilitated and led over 50 Techstars Startup Weekends, 54-hour idea-to-implementation events, across Europe.
​
What is a hackathon? Initially, the word Hackathon comes from the words 'marathon', meaning long, and 'hack', meaning exploratory problem-solving.
​
You spend an intense period of time, usually between 12-54h, building, creating and delivering a product. The idea is to collaboratively solve problems in an extreme manner, to start from scratch and end with a working prototype.
​
In 2020, Sapien Innovation is supporting a cross-industry hackathon with the Irish Defence Force, Health Service Executive, and the Garda SÃochána (Irish police force).
​
Some of the benefits of running a
hackathon are:
​
Innovation
Creating a product
Team building
Employer branding
​
If you're planning to run an event and want an experienced team to support you to make it as impactful as possible, then Sapien Innovation will be with you every step of the way.
