Spend the night at the airport to make it to the Baltic Sea Region Hackathon 2025 after a flight disorder? Wiktor Jeryś showed this commitment. The 18-year-old student was rewarded for his perseverance. The team around Wiktor Jeryś (Poland), Louise Coram-Lasnier (Sweden), Mikhail Didiura (Lithuania), Shivang Gupta (Finland), Bhanu Prasanna Koppolu (Germany) and Jueye Tao (Germany) goes home as the winner of the #B_Hack 2025.
Visualize climate risks and promote self -efficacy
After the presentation of the team I knew that they were winning
says the team’s mentor, Raha Nouri from the Stadtwerke Lübeck. The six tech talents developed a prototype that enables users to explore climate risks such as environmental pollution, coastal erosions or the increase in sea level on an interactive card. But not only that: Local activities are also displayed on the map that stimulate users directly to act and bring them into self -efficacy, instead of only leaving them back with the hard facts and climate risks. I am very happy, the team’s hard work has paid off
says Shivang Gupta.
Partnership, international exchange
With the current look at the geopolitical situation, we experience how the basics of our regular -based society are increasingly questioned. The guarantee of digital sovereignty through open source solutions is therefore a top priority for us, for example. The partnership -based, international exchange of knowledge, sharing experiences and mutual learning in digitization topics are essential in this way. Here the Baltic Sea area plays an important role
says Digitization Minister Dirk Schrödter. For this reason, I am very pleased that so many young committed people from different countries come together and network in order to work intensively on digital solutions. With your creative ideas you make a positive contribution to the digital transformation and development of the Baltic Sea area. The Baltic Sea region Hackathon underlines how important we are promoting digital innovations and cross -border cooperation.
Workshop topics: from smart grids to climate-friendly AI
In seven interdisciplinary workshops, the participants developed practical prototypes: from smart energy solutions for the Energy consumption of householdsan app that Arrive in a new city Simplified about an app that access to Healthcare relieved, the Sealink app for networking Founders with donors and a platform for Housing mediation For exchange students up to Resource -saving AI Based on Edgeai hardware and one interactive climate card For the Baltic Sea area.

About the Baltic Sea region Hackathon
For the third time, the Technical University of Lübeck became the meeting point for young technology enthusiasts from all over the Baltic Sea area. At the Baltic Sea region Hackathon 2025 47 participants from ten countries worked intensively on digital solutions for real social challenges for three days. From July 24th to 27th they developed creative prototypes in seven thematic tracks that opened new perspectives for artificial intelligence, sustainability, health, entrepreneurship, mobility, living space distribution and cross -border cooperation.
The hackathon is organized and financed by State of Schleswig-Holstein In cooperation with the Ostseerat (CBSS) and the Technical University of Lübeck (TH Lübeck). From 2024-2026, the state of Schleswig-Holstein held the presidency in the network of the Baltic Sea regions, whereby in addition to the elimination of ammunitional loads and the expansion of renewable energies, also digitization and the use of AI, focus on the presidency.
