Why sponsor
Put your brand in front of them
Featured social posts, prominent logo placement, and event branding keep you in front of the next generation of clinicians, engineers, and biotech founders, on our channels through the lead-up and on-site all weekend.
Back patient-centred work

Beyond the tiers
The tiers above cover most partnerships. If you have something more specific in mind (a challenge stream on your dataset, a recruiter booth, a flagship workshop), these are the formats we already plan to support, and we're happy to design something around them.
Put your name on a track or prize
Lend your name to one of our competition tracks, like "The [Company] Detection & Diagnostics Track," or fund a prize awarded in your name to a winning team. It's the most direct way to tie your brand to the work students will remember.
Custom challenge stream
Platinum partners can hand teams a proprietary dataset or a beta API and frame a problem around it. Hackers, including science and health students picking up code for the first time, build solutions on top of it. You get focused QA, a feedback corpus, and real signal on how non-experts use your product.
Judges, mentors, and workshops
Send judges to evaluate the final pitches, mentors to coach teams through the weekend, or run a technical workshop or fireside chat. Tell us what you'd like to share and we'll build the slot around it. Add-ons are available on inquiry.
Let's build BioHacks together.
Reach out and we'll shape a partnership around your goals: a named track, a custom challenge, judges and mentors, or a speaking slot. We'll show you exactly where your support lands, or you can grab the full package to share with your team.
