What is a Hackathon?
Innovation Sprint
A hackathon is an intensive event where talented young minds collaborate to create innovative solutions to challenging problems in a limited timeframe.
Collaborative Experience

Professional Development
Hackathons provide a unique environment to enhance technical skills, learn new technologies, and receive mentorship from industry experts.
Networking Platform

Hackathon Themes
Focus your innovation on these strategic themes designed to address real-world challenges
Health Tech
A health tech hackathon could focus on innovative areas like AI-enhanced telemedicine, wearable health devices, early disease detection using AI diagnostics, mental health tools, secure health data management, and personalized medicine based on genetic and lifestyle data.
Agri-Tech
AgriTech means using technology to improve farming. In Nepal, it helps farmers with smart tools, weather info, digital marketplaces, and better crop planning—making agriculture more efficient, sustainable, and profitable.
E-Governance
E-Governance in Nepal seeks to improve transparency, efficiency, and access to government services through digitization. Despite progress with tools like the Nagarik App and digital IDs, challenges such as system integration, cybersecurity, and rural access persist. The hackathon encourages innovative tech solutions to strengthen digital public services and empower citizens.
Open Innovation
An open innovation hackathon in Nepal could address local challenges through tech solutions in areas like renewable energy, sustainable tourism, education, disaster management, healthcare, and waste management. The focus would be on improving rural access, promoting sustainability, and enhancing public services through innovation.
