FAQ
Who are we?

This work will push medicine forward to new limits and novel solutions. TAU Medtech Hackathon is an event aiming to do just that by creating solutions to medical problems as yet unsolved. This is manifested throughout the event by the teams participating, the mentors and judges assisting, and the organizing team.
