Partners of MS Hackathon
The organisations that help us run fair, practical and well-supported hackathon events.
Who we work with
Partners contribute mentors, venues, technical resources and challenge briefs. Each partner agrees to a clear scope before an event begins, so teams always know what support is available.
- Challenge briefs written with the event team
- Mentors available during working sessions
- Access to tools, data or test environments where permitted
Independence in judging
Partners may set a challenge, but they do not sit on the judging panel for that challenge. Scores are recorded before results are shared.
How a partnership works
Introduce your organisation
We discuss goals, availability and the kind of support that fits the event.
Agree on scope
Roles, resources and responsibilities are written down and confirmed by both sides.
Support the event
Partners take part in briefings, mentoring or challenge reviews as agreed.
Report back
After the event we share a short summary of what worked and what to change.
Partner moments
Common partner questions
Terms for each partnership are agreed individually and written into the scope document before the event.
Yes. Proposals should describe a real problem, the data or tools available, and the outcome the partner hopes to see.
