AdTech Holding hosting second Open Hackathon in Cyprus

AdTech Holding, the Cyprus-based international hub focused on creating startup ecosystems and delivering innovative AdTech and MarTech solutions, announces its second Open HackAdTech Hackathon in Limassol. The event will be held under the auspices of the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, and supported by IAB.

This year’s Hackathon is supported by Quadcode – a gold sponsor of the event. Quadcode is a fintech company specialising in financial brokerage activities, and offering advanced financial products to clients globally. Being a financial broker (B2C), the company also offers its SaaS trading platform to other brokers.

Following the remarkable success of its debut Hackathon last year, AdTech Holding is organising the second contest over November 25-26, 2023. The Open HackAdTech Hackathon, 2023, invites all participants who share AdTech Holding’s vision of transforming the digital landscape with cutting-edge technology and unconventional ideas.

“We were greatly inspired by the first public Hackathon we hosted in 2022, as we witnessed the vibrant and collaborative spirit of the community,” said Alex Vasekin, AdTech Holding CEO. “It went beyond a standard IT contest; it became an opportunity to connect, cooperate, and network with like-minded people.”

He added: “with all our experience in mind, we are eager to make our 2023 hackathon an even more prominent event that will contribute to developing the Cyprus IT ecosystem — on the island we call our home. We are very happy to get recognition from society for our actions and appreciate the nomination of Hackadtech in the Future Shaper category of Techisland Awards.”
