From Ideas to Global Impact
Join our global movement driving real action for a sustainable future! Bringing together thousands of participants across more than 100 countries, we will yet again turn ideas into real solutions aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2026, we are proud to host our global hackathon in collaboration with the Digital Innovation Pavilion at COP31.
A Global Hackathon at the UN COP31
Taking place alongside the United Nation’s high level Climate Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Turkey (November 9–20, 2026), this hackathon invites innovators, developers, designers, citizens and changemakers from around the world to collaborate and build solutions for a sustainable future.
Participants will work in teams to develop impactful ideas into prototypes within a limited timeframe.
From Ideas to Global Impact
Hack for Earth at COP31 follows our proven and published method:
Dream: Imagine bold solutions to global challenges
Hack: Collaborate in teams and prototype in our fast-paced hackathon
Build: Turn winning ideas into real-world impact in our accelerator
Winning teams will enter the Build for Earth acceleration program, a 6-month online journey designed to fast-track ideas into scalable, real-world solutions on the market.
Pitch at COP31
The Prize Ceremony will take place live at COP31 in the Digital Innovation Pavilion. Finalist teams will be invited to pitch their solutions live to a jury of world leaders.
This is a unique opportunity to showcase your solution on one of the world’s most influential stages. Whether you’re a developer, designer, entrepreneur, student, citizen or expert, this is your chance to contribute to real solutions for our future and connect with the global innovation ecosystem.
