Being involved in the IT sector of Moldova, our team always aspires to challenge our skills and be involved in the social life of the IT community. Gigahack was one of the most anticipated events of the past year, and looking back, we can firmly say that it was, hands down, the best IT event organised in Moldova. The Technovator team surpassed all our expectations. The carefully picked challenges, the amazing team of mentors, and the general geek vibe left great memories. Additionally, we made many business contacts and received great advice from high-profile people, from which we continue to benefit today. We are looking forward to future events organised by them and would absolutely recommend participating.

Proton Sintech Team, winners of HealthTech Challenge

Our participation in Deeptech GigaHack was an extraordinary experience. We decided to join this hackathon because we are passionate about technology and innovation, wanting to test our skills in a competitive and collaborative environment.

One of the most remarkable experiences was working in a team with individuals from diverse fields, each bringing unique skills and perspectives.

7301 Team, winners of GovTech Challenge

At the hackathon, we came to network with enthusiasts from Chișinău, with the desire to collaborate on projects and develop ideas together. We knew it was the right place to find partners and build innovative solutions through our collaboration at that event.

Force RM Team, winners of Open Challenge

My personal experience at Deeptech Gigahack was extremely surprising and extraordinary, yet equally valuable.

I decided to participate because I attended the first edition of the Healthtech Forum, organized by Technovator, where I was introduced to another reality of contemporary medicine, being a student at USMF “Nicolae Testemițanu”. What I witnessed cultivated a special love for the world of information technologies, digitalization processes, and artificial intelligence in harmonious symbiosis with the medical field. I had an indescribable experience, from the team organization process, delegation, and assignment of tasks to each member based on their capabilities and personal background, to the final moments when we were nominated as winners in the BIOTECH category. I am incredibly grateful to the organizers, and I highly recommend everyone to be part of the second edition!

Andreea, from BioInsight Team, winners of BioTech Challenge

At the GigaHack hackathon, we experienced the true essence of teamwork and how, with well-defined priorities and proper management, victory can be achieved. It was our first experience of this kind of event.

The organizers made efforts to provide a comfortable working environment for teams, and the mentors guided us in the right direction.
