Hacktoberfest Hack Day Portimão x StartAlgarve

Ready to build the future? Join StartAlgarve for an intensive, full-day mini-hackathon as we dive headfirst into Hacktoberfest 2026!

This year’s theme is all about Open-Source Artificial Intelligence. Whether you are an AI expert or just curious to see what’s possible, this is your chance to connect with the local community, learn new tools, and ship code.

Powered by MLH + Dev, this Hack Day is the perfect place to collaborate and innovate. Bring your ideas, your laptop, and your passion for open source.

We are calling all students, founders, developers, AI enthusiasts, remote workers, and locals in the Algarve to make some noise!

Happy hacking!
