📌 About the Event

The IEEE Smart Hackathon is a national-level digital platform designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and industrial entrepreneurship. It is unique for its hybrid nature, acting as both a coding hackathon and an Entrepreneurship Summit, where the focus is not just on building a product but on its market viability and social impact. By participating, you enter a competitive “Smart Idea Innovation” track that welcomes solutions across every major engineering and arts discipline from AI and Green Energy to Bio Medical and Ocean Engineering.
