At Accept Mission we understand the need to facilitate a hackathon to collect ideas for innovations on a specific topic. Innovation managers need an easy, reliable, and accessible way to start submitting, select and executing ideas within a Hackathon. 

Within Accept Mission’s idea and innovation software, we offer innovators the possibility to easily manage Hackathon processes. You can use the software to pre-submit ideas before or during a Hackathon. You can also use it to let a jury (board, subject matter experts, etc.) score and select the best ideas. You can easily follow up the hackathon to make sure the best projects get implemented successfully within your organization. Set up campaigns to follow all innovation activities for collecting ideas, selecting ideas, creating and following projects into implementation and reporting on them. 

Collect innovation ideas from participants
Use different ways to collect ideas for a hackathon. Use it for example to collect interesting topics for a hackathon or use it to collect interesting innovation ideas from internal or even external people.  

Select the best innovations
Configurate multiple jury selection rounds to select the best hackathon innovations and bring the best to the finish line. For example, use expert scoring in the first selection round and follow this up with scoring and selection of the board in another round. Make sure to define a reusable list of selection criteria to generate scores by the different people. This all can be used time and place independently.  

Report and dashboard
Report on all activities within a hackathon: level of participation, number of received innovation ideas, number of total ideas, likes, comments, views, scoring results, best ideas and best-scored participants. You can even compare campaign results with each other to learn and optimize the innovation process.
