DigiHack 2025

Build with Purpose, Shine with Impact

A hackathon for bold tech creators by DigiHive Network

🌍What's This All About?

DigiHack 2025 is a 48-hour hackathon for bold tech creators. We're bringing together designers, developers, product minds, marketers, and more to form small teams and build real, purpose-driven solutions to real-world problems.

While DigiHack happens both onsite and online, this year's edition will be fully virtual, making it accessible to innovators from every corner of the world.

No fluff. No long pitch decks. Just great ideas, smart collaboration, and hands-on building – even if it's your first hackathon.
