16 teams participated in the PTE Hackathon, co-organized by Simonyi BEDC, the 3D Center, KTTK, the ITD and the Input Program on 20 September. This year's event was also a great success, with the aim of providing participants with an insight into the basics of business development, thereby inspiring them to develop further their own ideas or the ideas created at the hackathon in the Simony Incubation Program later. Several faculties participated this time as well, which provided an opportunity for establishing multidisciplinary teams, thus analysing the emerging ideas from multiple perspectives. Besides the mentors of the PTE and Input programmes, several company experts also assisted the teams in their work. The winner of the exciting competition was the Biowatch team, followed by Stepcash, who have also received the special award of the Pécs-Baranya Chamber of Commerce and Industry. C-Colors finished third. Nanolight received the 3D Center Special Award and the Pharmanager team received the ITD Special Award.
