In collaboration with Proximi.io, a hackathon was held from May 13 to July 31, 2016, encouraging developers to create location-aware apps using the Ionic framework and Proximi.io's Proximity Platform. Offering two prizes of 1,000 Euros each for the best Ionic proximity apps, the event aimed to integrate location technologies with IoT devices by utilizing Proximi.io's Cordova plugin and free Ionic starter app for both indoor and outdoor navigation. Participants were required to develop an app, publish it on iOS or Google Play Store, and submit screenshots, a description, and optionally, a short video to Proximi.io. The hackathon also invited public engagement through voting, and interested individuals could register to participate while receiving updates via a newsletter.
