Film and Multimedia TECH Hackathon

The pre-accelerator helps film and multimedia technology startups validate early-stage ideas, design a functioning business model and move towards having an MVP

You are welcome to join if you have an idea for a technology-based solution for the film, media, entertainment or creative industries and want to start working on it for real. You can also participate if you are just getting started with entrepreneurship.

You don’t need to have a fully developed idea or a team. At the hackathon, you can join other participants and work together on real industry challenges and new solutions.

During the hackathon, you’ll develop your idea with the support of mentors, validate the problem and customer need, work through your business model, and build your first MVP or prototype. The programme includes practical workshops, mentoring and teamwork. At the end, teams will pitch their solutions to a jury.

The winning team will receive €1,000 to develop their prototype! In addition, the strongest teams will get a fast track into the Tehnopol Film & Multimedia Accelerator, where they will receive support in developing, validating and bringing their solutions to market.

The hackathon takes place on 6–8 November 2026 at IDA Hub in Jõhvi.
