<h2>Synergy Hackathon 2026 – Resilience by Design</h2>April 1–3, 2026 · DGTL Festival · Amsterdam (NDSM Wharf)How do we design energy systems that don’t just survive disruption — but grow stronger because of it?Welcome to Synergy 2026, a three-day collaborative hackathon where innovators, system thinkers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, technologists, artists and energy pioneers come together to design the foundations of a resilient energy future.This is not a typical hackathon. Synergy is a collaborative design sprint for system change, where breakthroughs emerge at the intersection of disciplines, perspectives and scales. <h3>🌍 The Theme: Resilience by Design</h3>In 2026, Synergy focuses on one urgent question:How do we make energy systems resilient by default?Resilience means systems that can:<ul><li>absorb shocks</li><li>adapt to change</li><li>and become stronger through disruption</li></ul>Teams will work on real, partner-driven challenges connected to three levels:🔭 Macro – Energy autonomy, secure supply chains, robust infrastructure 🏙️ Meso – Resilient cities and regions, future-proof grids, system integration 🏘️ Micro – Energy communities, local hubs, flexible neighborhoods, empowered usersThe most powerful ideas connect multiple scales at once. <h3>What teams will work on 🛠️</h3>During 48 hours, teams will innovate, prototype and collaborate around real resilience challenges with partners and stakeholders.⚡ Resilient Energy Hub Marineterrein Design a local energy hub that keeps essential city functions running during a major grid disruption — and becomes a scalable model for resilient neighbourhoods across Amsterdam.🌍 Designing Europe’s Strategic Defaults How can hubs like Rotterdam deliberately shape the default flows of energy, data and critical materials Europe depends on — sustainably, resiliently and at scale?🎪 Future-Proof Festivals How do we build festival infrastructure based on 100% renewables, and use festivals as living labs to improve energy systems everywhere? <h3>🎪 Why a Festival?</h3>Synergy takes place at DGTL Festival at the NDSM wharf — a temporary city and real-world test environment.Festivals are high-intensity, pop-up infrastructures: the perfect living lab to explore how future energy systems can work under real conditions.<h3>⚡ What You’ll Do</h3>Over three days, multidisciplinary teams will:<ul><li>explore a real resilience challenge</li><li>map the system they are intervening in</li><li>challenge existing assumptions and “defaults”</li><li>prototype new models, mechanisms, tools or collaborations</li><li>present a system-level intervention, not just a single product</li></ul>Breakthroughs can be technical, digital, financial, organizational, regulatory or social. <h3>🤝 How We Work</h3>Synergy runs on collaboration over competition.Participants move between teams, combine perspectives from tech, policy, finance, design and community, and co-create solutions that are bigger than any single organization.The hackathon is part of a growing ecosystem and year-round movement — a launchpad for real-world follow-up.<h3>🌱 Who Should Join?</h3>We welcome:<ul><li>Energy innovators &amp; startups</li><li>Grid, mobility and infrastructure experts</li><li>Digital &amp; data specialists</li><li>Policymakers &amp; public innovators</li><li>Investors &amp; finance designers</li><li>Community builders &amp; energy cooperatives</li><li>Artists, designers &amp; storytellers</li></ul>If you care about energy, resilience and systemic change, and want to build across boundaries — this is for you. <h3>🚀 Join Us</h3>The energy transition is no longer only about sustainability. It is about resilience, autonomy and thriving in uncertainty.Join Synergy Hackathon 2026 April 1–3 · DGTL Festival · AmsterdamLet’s design energy systems that are stronger, smarter and more human — by design.
