Join us online to celebrate Europe’s young innovators as finalist teams pitch live, connect across borders, and showcase digital solutions designed for real social impact.
From October 2025 to January 2026, students across Europe have been teaming up to tackle real-world challenges with code — creating digital solutions designed to make a genuine difference in their communities.
Now, it’s time to celebrate that work, spotlight the finalists, and bring everyone together for a high-energy online finale.
Theme: From Code to Community
This year’s finals are built around a central idea: digital skills are most powerful when they create social impact.
Under the theme “From Code to Community: Bridging Digital Skills and Social Impact”, the event will showcase how young innovators are using tech to respond to challenges they see around them — with ideas shaped by teamwork, purpose, and perseverance.

- Hackathon participants (15–19-year-old students) and their supporters
- Teachers and mentors guiding teams locally
- National hubs and community organisers
- Code4Europe consortium and community members
- Anyone interested in youth innovation, digital skills, and social impact
What to expect on the day
- Live pitches from finalist teams (with Q&A)
- Inspirational talk to kick off the event (Salvatore Nigro, CEO of JA Europe)
- Jury panel with expertise from across Europe’s digital ecosystem
- Audience voting — help choose a winner in real time
- Voices from past winning teams + winners’ celebration
Why join?
Because these finals are a reminder of what EU Code Week is all about:
creative learning, collaboration across borders, and young people building the future — one idea at a time.
Whether you’re a teacher looking for classroom inspiration, a hub or partner supporting local activity, or simply curious to see brilliant ideas come to life, you’ll have a front-row seat.
