HEALTH INSURANCE HACK:ED is a unique format combining hackathons and sprint workshops, specifically tailored to the specialist topics and current challenges of health insurance – to identify, promote and prototype innovative solutions precisely where they are needed!

Our official partner health insurance companies cover more than 10 million people across Germany. Together with them, we are searching for new solutions to further improve healthcare and the satisfaction of these policyholders. What do we need for this? Motivated innovators who want to actively shape the future of health insurance with creative ideas, sound knowledge, and a strong hands-on mentality.

For this task, you will have access to an experienced organizational team and numerous areas of expertise.

This year we are awarding 5 hackathon scholarships for free participation to students, startups and young professionals!
