Tomorrow June 16th starts at Lisboa Congress Centre (CCL) the IoT Hackathon Lisbon, in which The IoT cloud solution is on of the sponsors! Some of its promoters are UNINOVA, FCT-UNL (both Technological universities from Portugal), Zolertia and the IoT-Forum.

The hackathon will last two days and will gather students from the most renowned tech Universities from Portugal and also Europe, as well as professionals from IoT-related labs from the Portuguese and European Industry, SMEs and other academies/institutes. And what is it about? In the IoT Hackathon, teams will develop a prototype of an IoT solution in just 48 hours and then, June 18th the solutions will be evaluated by a group of notables from the IoT world. The award ceremony will take place that same day within the scope of the IoT Week 2015 Lisbon.

The main idea of this Hackathon is to create a new solution that fits into the Internet of Things’ contest. We encourage the participants at the IoT Hackthon to use thethings.iO to connect their things to the Internet. Feel free to create a free account at thethings.iO and find code of Arduino connected at thethings.iO here and more at thethings.iO github account.
