ABOUT US
Great Ideas Deserve Great Events
urHackathon is the platform behind the region's most impactful hackathons -- from national innovation challenges to corporate R&D sprints. We handle the complexity so organizers can focus on what matters: unlocking talent.
Our Story
We watched organizations pour months into spreadsheets, email chains, and stitched-together tools just to run a single hackathon. Brilliant events were being held back by operational chaos. That felt wrong.
So urWave, our parent company in Riyadh, built urHackathon -- one platform that covers registration, team formation, judging, and results, end to end. Today, government ministries, Fortune 500 companies, and top universities trust us to power their most ambitious innovation events.
Our Mission
Remove every barrier between an organization and a world-class hackathon -- so running one takes days of setup, not months.
Our Vision
A region where every bold idea gets a stage -- and every hackathon produces solutions that ship, not just slide decks.
