hack

French translation: défricher

English term or phrase: hack
Bonsoir à tous,

Auriez-vous une idée de la façon dont traduire le terme "hack" dans la phrase suivante :

"Teams come together for 72 hours to imagine, hack, prototype and design their way to disruptive opportunities."

Contexte : des équipes se réunissent dans un incubateur afin de développer de nouvelles start-ups. Elles échangent des idées, etc.

Je ne suis pas certaine de découper correctement la phrase. Faut-il comprendre "hack" de manière isolée, ou bien le rapporter à "disruptive opportunities" ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide !

chercher & trouver


Explanation:
'Hack' in this context means looking for a solution, not necessarily the best or most elegant, but at least it's a solution.

Perhaps 'bricoler' would be a better one-word translation.

trouver leur voie


Explanation:
Après "imaginer" et avant de "monter un prototype", une start-up doit trouver une voie nouvelle, explorer de nouvelles pistes ("explorer des pistes" pourrait aussi être une possibilité"), en fait je traduis par anticipation "hack... their way to new opportunities" parce que "prototype and design"se trouveront sans doute en français plus loin dans la phrase
