Here’s What Our Partners Have to Say

Junction Challenge Partner

We have had the opportunity to join other hackathons, but we have always chosen Junction when it comes to our software side. It’s a great brand and a great organization. I consider Junction to be the pearl of the Hackathon world. It has managed to attract really good people. Everything runs smoothly always, somehow the people in the core team change but everything works well regardless

Junction Challenge Partner

Our challenge gathered a bunch of great ideas, smart solutions and out of the box thinking from the hackers. To us it was very useful and refreshing to hack the future of retail with the Junction people - not forgetting valuable connections with future tech talents!

Junction Hackerpack Partner

We offered our cloud infrastructure for the teams to take their impressive projects to the next level. For UpCloud, collaboration with Junction was an excellent opportunity to show UpCloud's capabilities and allow fellow tech enthusiasts to experience the benefits of the superior European cloud. We were happy to see a great number of users take UpCloud for a spin!

Junction Visibility Partner

We joined the event from a recruitment and visibility angle and were able to get:

+100 recruitment leads
Book 7 interviews on-site
Increase website traffic by 2.6x during the event
