Public posts around the European Critical Infrastructure Hackathon 2026 in Gdansk mention Marius Parescius as a mentor and describe the event as focused on Europe’s technological independence and critical infrastructure.
The hackathon themes connect directly with ISC’s work: sovereign communication, energy security, space technologies, cyber resilience and the ability to prototype under pressure.
What organisations can learn from hackathon formats
- Critical infrastructure problems need mixed teams, not isolated technical silos.
- Rapid prototyping helps reveal dependencies before a crisis.
- Mentorship connects strategic thinking with practical engineering decisions.
- Resilience is a mindset as much as a technical architecture.
