#herHACK

Join Switzerland's largest female-led Hackathon

#herHACK will return this year, featuring a range of educational workshops and networking opportunities — and find out that Tech is for everyone.
No IT background needed, but curiosity, an idea and the courage to act.
#herHACK connects (career-changing) women with the tech world, real challenges and future employers.

Welcome to #herHACK

Somewhere between ‘I’ve always been curious about tech’ and ‘I have no idea where to start’. That’s exactly where #herHACK begins.

We don’t need you to know how to code. We need you to show up, ask questions, and refuse to be the woman in the room who stays quiet.

Since 2021, #herHACK has connected over 500 women with real tech challenges, real mentors, and real employers across Zurich, Lausanne, Lugano and beyond.

THIS YEAR, we’re going bigger with a new pivot to our regional upskilling events. A confidence series adds some spice to the talent pipeline straight to the companies looking to hire someone exactly like you.

Unique and female friendly



With #herHACK, we create a safe and inspiring environment for women as well as a network for like-minded people. This is more relevant than ever considering the lack of diversity in tech jobs (only 16% women) and the increasing shortage of skilled workers (38'700 empty positions by 2030).
Thanks to #herHACK, we inspire and empower women and other underrepresented groups to pursue a career in the tech field.

Take these opportunities to hone your skills on real-world challenges, collaborate with peers, share ideas and knowledge and gain valuable experience. 

Skill-building

#herHACK presents an amazing opportunity to build your skills by tackling real-world challenges in teams. Are you ready to develop solutions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals?

Community

Through the years, #herHACK build a community of like-minded people with lots of networking and mentorship opportunities. Together, we create innovative solutions and have lots of fun.
Join us on our group "herHACK Community" on LinkedIn.

Safe-Space

#herHACK fosters inclusivity, respect and a sense of belonging. While we put a particular focus on women, we encourage participation for everyone irrespective of gender or nationality.
