HackaFuture Weekend

Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th February 2025

Introducing Hackafuture, a groundbreaking hackathon that will kick off the 2025 Digital Skills Festival. Taking place on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th February, this will be our first major fringe event, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring it to life!

This isn’t just any hackathon—HackaFuture is your chance to shape the future of tech and tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges alongside like-minded innovators. Whether you’re a student, early in your career, a seasoned coder, or simply passionate about digital solutions, this is the event for you!

HackaFuture is something new, something different.  And whether you’re a student or employed, a seasoned coder or just super passionate about tech – this event is for you.

From our Festival Headline Sponsor AtkinsRéalis:

“At AtkinsRéalis, we connect people, data, and technology to transform the future of clean energy. And over one weekend in Manchester, you’ll have the opportunity to join us in solving some of the biggest issues facing the planet and its people.  

You’ll join one of up to 20 teams and collaborate, innovate and create solutions that deploy, process or share data – using your tech and digital skills, which may include AI, robotics, and gamification.

And the best bit – we’re offering jobs to everyone on the winning team.

Alongside a competitive salary, plus a joining bonus or monthly allowance, you’ll be granted investment to develop your solution with mentorship from our digital leaders, support from our Global Technology Centre, our technology partners, and others. Tech jobs in Manchester don’t usually look like this!”

All teams will be provided with hotel accommodation and food for the weekend.
