Borusan Lojistik, one of the companies of the Borusan Group, is taking its journey, which it continues with the mission of providing customer-specific solutions, to the next level with the claim to bring innovative digital solutions to the logistics industry. With the Hackathon competition, it adds new ideas and new names to the digitization journey in the logistics sector.

Now it’s the young people’s turn to make a difference with their digital solutions in logistics!

The aim of the competition is to code a prototype by generating new ideas that will digitize the logistics industry. Teams participating in the competition, which is scheduled to take place in the online environment, will face a problem related to data analytics, big data or machine learning and are expected to come up with a solution within a limited time.

Anyone who does not work at Borusan Group and is interested in the logistics sector can participate in the Hackathon with their team by filling in the registration form on the website. The finalist teams that make it through the pre-selection will receive a case study and will be asked to find a solution for this case within 1.5 days. Finalist teams are determined on the basis of the evaluations by a team of experts.
