Lisbon
A community bringing together students, developers, researchers and companies to build innovative solutions through hackathons and collaborative projects.
A permanent home for the JunctionX Lisbon initiative.
01 About
JunctionX Lisbon is the Lisbon home of JunctionX, the international hackathon series by Junction. Since its founding edition in 2025, it has brought together students, developers, researchers and companies to work on real challenges and turn ideas into working prototypes.
Each hackathon is a chapter in a longer story. This website keeps that story in one place: what is happening now, and a permanent record of past editions, with their challenges, partners, people and projects.
