Cycling Hack Geneva 2025
Turning Interest into Action – Getting Hesitant Cyclists on the Road

Building on previous successes, we unite technology, innovation, and cycling passion through dual events in Geneva and Zurich. Join students, industry experts, and creative minds in developing practical, real-world solutions aimed at making cycling safer, smarter, and more sustainable across Switzerland. Let's turn innovative ideas into tangible impact—together!

What is Cycling Hack 2025?
Cycling Hack is an annual event dedicated to fostering innovative solutions to enhance cycling safety, sustainability, and accessibility across Switzerland. Participants from diverse backgrounds—including tech enthusiasts, urban planners, students, apprentices, and anyone passionate about promoting cycling—collaborate in a dynamic environment to address real-world cycling challenges. With events in Geneva and Zurich, Cycling Hack bridges regional strengths and nurtures projects with potential national impact.

Key Hackathon Information
Our Hackathon will take place around 2 main events one week apart:

Kick-Off Session: 5:00PM to 19:00PM on Thursday, May 8th, 2025
During the Kick-Off Session, participants will form teams and receive guidance on the event structure and judging criteria. After the kick-off session, the teams then have one week to hack on their idea at their own location or collaborate with each other remotely.

Final Presentation: 4:30PM to 7:30PM on Thursday, May 15th, 2025
Teams will present their solutions to our panel of judges during the pitch session. After a short deliberation, the event will conclude with an awards ceremony.
