Hirate, the project manager at Couger, has been leading the preparations for this Hackathon event since January. We received many more applications than expected, and 67 participants (16 teams) were selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was supported and sponsored by leading Japanese companies, leading blockchain startups, and major Ethereum organizations, making it a very exciting event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The level of participants was very high, and some teams continued their projects after the Hackathon with the goal of commercializing them. It was a very rewarding and educational event for our management.<\/p>\n\n\n

We received a lot of positive feedback from the judges, and it was a Hackathon that will lead to future steps. (Click here to see the judges' comments.<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to organize events in cooperation with other companies, not only in Japan, but also overseas, in order to energize the blockchain community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
