The “Smart the cITy” hackathon, organized by software company SmartIT, aims to explore the best ideas on the topic of “Smart city and smart home.” Participants are invited to present their solutions for improving public transport, street lighting, parking, air quality, as well as modernizing the home environment using technology. The registration form is available at http://smartthecity.smartit.bg, and the deadline is 18 of May, 2018.

The winning idea will receive 3000 leva of funding and guidance for growing the project and bringing to market. The jury is chaired by Mr Svetlin Nakov, recipient of the John Atanassov award (2004) by the President of the Republic of Bulgaria, and a founder of Software University.
