    Garage48 together with our partner in Belarus, Imaguru Startup HUB, and Estonian Development Cooperation is happy to announce a hackathon in Minsk! 

    Garage48 Minsk 2015 event takes place 27-29 November, 2015 in Minsk at the Imaguru Startup HUB. JOIN us to bring international teams from Baltic, Belarus and other countries together in Belarus to use their talent and creativity to make an idea into a working prototype in just a weekend.

    Garage48 is a weekend long intensive development event to work out new web and mobile applications and bring new startups into life. We expect around one hundred software developers, designers, marketers and visionaries. The event is opened for both, university students and already working specialists. We start on Friday with pitching ideas and forming teams with only one goal in mind - to have a working product by Sunday to present to the jury.

    All the teams will be supported by internationally experienced mentors throughout the event.

    Minsk Hackathon celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and unity among hacker communities around the world to help, inspire, build, share, and form borderless partnerships to make global impacts.
