Executive Summary
Event Overview
The National Coalition Hackathon 2026 is a flagship three-day national initiative designed to redefine the traditional hackathon model.
Moving away from static prompts, this event introduces a dynamic "Identify-to-Solve" framework where students engage directly with industry "pain points" to derive their own problem statements.
By hosting four simultaneous industry-specific tracks (Finance, Healthcare, E-commerce, and Education), the summit serves as a high-impact bridge between academic talent and real-world industrial challenges.
Identify-to-Solve Framework
Unlike traditional hackathons where problems are given, our participants act as analysts first. They collaborate with C-suite leaders to identify real-world hurdles and then engineer AI-driven solutions to overcome them.
Key Objectives
- To foster a culture of analytical autonomy among students.
- To bridge the gap between academic theory and industrial application.
- To produce viable, scalable AI solutions for critical sectors.
