I’m Filippo from Silicon Mtn, one of the organizers of the Maritime Dual-Use Hackathon in San Francisco, October 16–18, 2026 . It’s a 48-hour build with three challenges: Software-Defined Vessel Piping Layout Optimization OT Cybersecurity & Blast Radius Analysis We’re organizing it with Fincantieri, Fincantieri Marine Group and Mind the Bridge , with Qualcomm and Arduino as main technology sponsors. Each member of the winning team receives a Qualcomm-powered laptop . For those interested in continuing afterwards: Venture Track — selective access to six weeks of free acceleration with Fincantieri. Scouting Track — an opt-in path offering access to partners’ hiring processes. If you enjoy building, testing and making things work , take a look. You can apply solo or with a team of up to five .

Adding edge AI telemetry makes this even more interesting... Looking forward to seeing where you take it!
