Our goal is to bring together students from all walks of life to create great software and technology. Our focus is to bring together designers, entrepreneurs and developers.
EmTech Hack is a holistic competition that brings top tier talent from across professions to bring fresh perspectives on AI, VR, Blockchain, and IoT. We equip students with the tools they need to build sustainable and scalable software and businesses. By training our attendees in software architecture, ethical design, cyber-security and business management we prepare them to achieve their visions.
