Applications are open for the HackCodeX coding hackathon, which will take place on June 3-5 in the beautiful city of Riga, Latvia. The event returns for its 2023 edition bringing together technology enthusiasts from all over Europe.
HackCodeX is an international hackathon that brings together the best and brightest minds in coding across Europe.
