The winner of the Garage48 Hardware&Arts in Tbilisi will try to help blind people!

The very first Hardware & Arts hackathon here in Tbilisi, Georgia concluded with great results - 9 teams delivered a stellar presentation and demoed their working prototypes at the final event. The hackathon was held in the not-even-opened-yet Techpark that will serve as a centre for all start-up activity in Tbilisi.

During the next year Techpark will open its doors to a co-working space, an incubator, a fully equipped FabLab for prototyping and GITA's headquartes - all to support the local startup ecosystem. As the chairman of Georgia's Innovation and Technology Agency Irakli Kashibadze said at the final event, the technical equipment and available workspace will be essential for all the strong teams from the hackathon to carry on developing their ideas!

Our big thank you goes to the Jury members, who had the difficult decision of choosing the winners: Priit Salumaa (Garage48, Mooncascade); Indrek Rebane (Hedgehog, Buildit); Martin Melioranski (Estonian Academy of Arts); David Chechelashvili (Ilia University); Irakli Kashibadze (GITA); Martin Verrev (Microsoft).

Also to all the mentors who were helping out the teams throughout the weekend: Renee Puusepp, Jaanus Kalde, Jaanus Sakkis and Anu Piirisild.

And without further ado, here are the winners of Garage48 Hardware&Arts hackathon Tbilisi 2015:
