Where data enthusiasts gather to tackle Porto’s present and future challenges.
WHAT IS HACKACITY?
Hackacity is a one-of-a-kind hackathon that explores the potential of open city data to develop solutions that will impact the community.

Since 2015, 6 Hackacity editions have been held in Porto. As the city works its datasets and gets further in the decision-making support, the hackatons become more and more challenging.

Digital Rights
Digital rights are human rights. In a society increasingly shaped by the digital world, it is essential to emphasize the importance of everyone’s right to access, use, and create digital technologies and content. These rights encompass the protection of privacy, freedom of expression, and the right to access information online. They ensure that individuals can engage with digital platforms, participate in online communities, and share content freely and safely, without facing undue censorship, surveillance, or discrimination.
Digital rights also encompass issues such as data protection, net neutrality, and the right to be forgotten, ensuring that digital environments remain open, inclusive, and respectful of individuals’ rights and freedoms.
