Finding new ideas in a codeless hackathon

OGTC set out to deliver a hackathon event to support the ENGenious conference on the 22nd to the 24th of September 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the requirement to work virtually, the decision was made to provide a virtual hackathon event to support the conference.

Code[less] was a unique, industry first, virtual, low-code hackathon event provided by OGTC and supported by Microsoft, Intelligent Plant, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (OREC), the Oil & Gas Authority (OGA), TAQA, Ithaca Energy, Scottish Enterprise and the Data Lab. OGTC set out to deliver an inclusive virtual hackathon using a codeless approach to raise awareness on the demand for automation and innovation in the Energy Sector and the push towards a Net Zero economy.

The event was open to all levels of people who were interested in developing skills and capabilities in using Microsoft’s Power Platform to solve industry challenges and understand innovative ways of working using real industrial datasets to boost productivity.
