Details: Teams are tasked with preparing a business case and development model for the project, analysing potential environmental impact and sustainable development strategies, and producing a visual concept including renders, diagrams and prototypes of the future space.

Organisers Kharkiv IT Cluster in partnership with the Ukrainian Industrial Cluster will use the hackathon as a "launchpad for business plans and visual materials that could guide future city projects."

Background:

• The Investment Programmes Bureau, the managing company of the Volodymyr and Novovolynsk industrial parks, earlier drove the initiative to build Ukraine’s first underground industrial park in Kharkiv.
• Following widespread bombardments and the loss of the majority of companies in Kharkiv Oblast, plans are underway to create Ukraine’s first underground industrial park.
• Seven underground schools were scheduled to begin operating in the city of Kharkiv on 1 September, the first day of the school year and Knowledge Day in Ukraine. Six metro stations have been converted into classrooms.
