The first blockathon in the Nordics takes place in Stockholm on 10–11 September, as part of Nordic Tech Week. The formal name is FIRSTBLOCK-ATHON.

It's a two-day blockchain and AI hackathon in Stockholm, bringing together developers, founders, researchers, students, startups and companies to work on real-world problems. Eight challenges have been set by the partner organisations — six of them sit outside financial services.

Kaupr is media partner. We cover who's building what, which organisations are behind the challenges, and what comes out of it.

Ahead of September we're hosting three virtual pre-events, streamed and open to everyone across the Nordics and Baltics. The first is on 20 August, 11:00–12:30.
