Last years result:

 

Wow!  What another great Hackathon for 2024.  Congratulations to Team 4 for winning.  It would have been nice to win again but it is just fun to participate.

Amazing work to both teams and hopefully that winning project ends up as an App to download for Android/iPhone.  That would be awesome since we use VSPC being an MSP.

Great effort from everyone involved, congratulations to the Team 4, loved the app as well.

Truly looking forward for next year competition, thanks a lot to the sponsors, the organisers and the jury.

Wow, I didn’t expect that! It was really fun and hopefully we will see our app in production since I’m about to implement VCSP into our company aswell.

Great job to all teams, it was a lot of fun!

Grateful to be part of the winning Team. Was a lot of fun. South Africa & Germany Collab in Team 4 !!!

Well done Team 1 & 2

As you said Lukas, didn’t expect it 😊 This would be so nice to see our app in the AppStore.
Thanks again to @Ian_RSA and @Markus.K1985 for an excellent job 😍

Very nice work as well from the other teams. Congrats!

I´d love to see the APP in Apstores as well. Thanks to Team 4 for the great Teamwork!!

A big shoutout to the organizers and sponsors as well for making it all possible.

Congrats Team 4! Looks like a clean, user-friendly mobile app. 👍🏻 Only downside is it’s only for VCSP users, of which I am not 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

Enjoyed collaborating with my Team. Was a neat experience. Thank you Hackathon leaders! 🙌🏻

@coolsport00 but wouldn’t that be a nice reason to become a VCSP user? 😊
