It's a wrap on the DOTC BuildTogether Hackathon 2025!

Over the past two weeks, users and developers from across the SAF came together with one goal, to build solutions that truly make a difference. From bouncing around ideas to experimenting with new tech and refining prototypes, our teams showed what happens when empowered developers meet engaged users. The energy, the creativity, and the willingness to problem-solve together made this year’s Hackathon something special.

Demo Day brought all that hard work to life. Whether it was a simple tool that solved a real pain point or a bold concept pushing new possibilities, every prototype showed heart, purpose, and the drive to create smarter, faster, and more resilient digital capabilities for our defence community.

Here’s to the people behind the innovation, the teamwork, the curiosity, and the spirit of building the future of defence tech together.
