We don’t need to put too much effort in introducing company Akrapovič to you. A pioneer in its field, Akrapovič is widely recognized as a highly innovative materials technology company.

But what does it mean to have an innovative fusion weekend, more known as a hackathon? What this really means?
Usually when you read or hear about hackathons or watch Holywood movies, you picture yourself a group, of high school kids, that are hacking into state computer systems. Sounds quite terrible right? Let us reassure you it isn’t that kind of “hacking”. Hackathons today enable individuals to express themselves in a very creative way, whether with the help of technology or simply with the help of a pencil, piece of paper and the right idea. And of course the most important – the right team.

It is about organized groups of individuals, who create unique solutions out of nothing based on the assigned challenges of the event hosts. It is about shaping a community, that learns together, creates together and shares knowledge. It is about solving problems and creating new innovative solutions. It is about meeting likeminded people. It is about shaping and constructing, simply because it is fun and useful. It is about moving borders in entrepreneurship as a team. It is about the world hearing your ideas which you will carry out as a team.

Since you are still reading, we know it sounds interesting and we have awaken your interest.

You want to be among participants?
Great! We have another brave innovator.

Let’s go one step at a time:
Weekend of innovative fusion, hackathon or marathon of hacking is an intensive continuous two day competition of innovative and creative individuals, which are divided into groups that solve different in advance assigned challenges.

And what does it mean when a company with international reputation such as Akrapovič is organizing it?
Way more than you can imagine and you might have experienced in similar events like this. It is simply a weekend full of surprises…and o boy, you’re up for a treat 😊

With team members from Akrapovič you will help co-create something else. You will look way beyond exhaust systems and take products into unknown dimensions. Think of an Akrapovič product line outside the exhaust systems, considering the value of the Akrapovič brand.

The more out of the box, the crazier, the more chances you have to get one of the most appealing prizes you can imagine.

That’s it… how far can you go?

What to expect?

Be bold, be open and try to make a difference.

We will take care and provide you warm meals and snacks in between, that at all times your brain would be at the top of the performance.

Awards or “what’s in it for me?”

We are certain that you are a right person to accept the challenge and get a chance to shine.

Don’t forget, that this can be a great springboard for your future employment in an innovative environment of Akrapovič.

Grab the opportunity and join the team, which will evolve their own idea and show the jury of Akrapovič what they are capable of. Of what material you are made of!
