These companies include AWS, the global partner for the event, and LINKIT, who will both host talks, expert workshops, and special experiences to help attendees expand their skills and network with other competitors.

MxHacks is also supported by Appronto; AuraQ; Bizzomate; Brook Trout Partners; CLEVR; Conclusion, Low Code Company; Incentro; Lindent-IT; and the Low-code Academy.

“MxHacks will be a great opportunity to provide up and coming developers with the chance to grow their careers whilst also helping vulnerable people around the world. Our partners are the backbone of our customer success, community and expansion into new markets, and we are excited to have them play such a big role in the MxHacks initiative with us,” says Tim Srock, CEO of Mendix. “Our partners play a critical role in helping more people than ever to learn about low-code and access our platform and pre-existing apps. Beyond this, they are also an integral part of our mission to empower people from all backgrounds and all over the world to make their own apps to make the world a better place, thanks to low-code. And we are looking forward to welcoming them alongside our developer community, to come up with novel answers to complex problems.”

“At LINKIT, we strongly believe in empowering developers to create impactful solutions that make the world run better,” said Cornelis Lemstra, CEO at LINKIT. “Both Mendix and LINKIT share values of trust, drive and collaboration and the mission of the ‘MxHacks 2022: Low-Code for Good’ event. We can’t wait to see how the low-code developer community responds to some of the biggest problems in the world today in a collaborative, caring and expert way.”

MxHacks partners will provide attendees with opportunities to meet like-minded individuals across the globe and grow their networks by joining workshops hosted by experts, attending training, and working with the many coaches patrolling the hackathon. Attendees will also have access to career opportunities at meet-and-greet sessions with companies looking to hire developers and expand their teams.

Admission to MxHacks is free and can include teams of up to four people. Solo developers can participate independently or find team members or the Mendix Community Slack. Hybrid teams are also eligible, with some members going on-site while others call in remotely.
