Graphene Hackathon 2021: ingenuity and ambition on show in global competition
The second edition of the Graphene Hackathon delivered a wealth of creativity as teams battled it out to win prizes for the best business idea using graphene.
The 2021 event – held from 26-30 April and run by PhD students from The University of Manchester – was hosted virtually due to Covid restrictions but the online platform had the benefit of turning the competition into a truly global affair.
Thirty-five teams from around the world, including participants from Argentina, India and Indonesia, worked throughout the week on their ideas before pitching to a panel of industry experts.
