HackHunterdon is a 24-hour tech-product-creation competition for innovators - organized by Hunterdon County Economic Development, Flemington Community Partnership, and the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce. A main goal of the organizers, as well as the participating businesses, is to identify local talent with exceptional ideas so that their innovations can flourish.
"Last year's hackathon brought together a diverse amount of area talent with some exceptional ideas," said Sam Napolitano, Sr. VP of Engineering at Viacom, who also serves as a judge and team mentor for this year's hackathon. "The HackHunterdon effort is designed to help provide them with the partnership they need to flourish in Hunterdon and the surrounding area."
Last year's hackathon saw dozens of technologists compete for about $10,000 worth of cash and prizes. The top team this year will share a $5,000 grand prize for their efforts.
