ROUND 1 - PROBLEM STATEMENTS
Participants are encouraged to leverage any technology—whether it's artificial intelligence,
blockchain, cybersecurity, data analytics, or others—to develop their solutions. There are no
restrictions on the tools or platforms used, as long as the approach is innovative, addresses
the core problem effectively, and demonstrates practical feasibility for real-world
implementation.

R1-01 Inventory A national logistics company operating multiple warehouses
Misalignment in across regions often experiences inventory discrepancies,
Multi-Warehouse leading to overstock in some locations and stockouts in others.
Logistics Despite using ERP systems, issues persist due to inaccurate
demand forecasting, inefficient inter-warehouse transfer
coordination, and a lack of real-time visibility. How can this
imbalance be addressed while keeping operational costs low?
R1-02 Unplanned Manufacturing SMEs often suffer unplanned machine
Downtime in downtime, leading to production delays and increased
Mid-Sized maintenance costs. These units usually lack advanced
Manufacturing monitoring systems and operate with minimal digital
Units infrastructure. What kind of system or process can help these
facilities anticipate failures and schedule maintenance
proactively?
R1-03 Digital Trust Online users frequently share personal data across apps, sites,
Without Digital and services without knowing how it's stored, shared, or used.
Clutter Most don’t read privacy policies or understand consent
frameworks. Meanwhile, developers build authentication
systems, yet ignore transparency or user control. Developers
focus on login systems but overlook transparency and user
autonomy. What kind of solution can empower users to take
control of their digital identity and data relationships, while
being easy for developers to integrate? You might build a
digital-passport, or an extension, or a dashboard, or maybe a
plug-and-play API! The innovation is yours…
R1-04 Trust Gaps in In global supply chains—especially for products like
Supply Chain pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, or perishables—tracking the
Traceability origin and movement of goods is difficult, often relying on
siloed, error-prone records. This creates vulnerabilities to
fraud, counterfeiting, and regulatory non-compliance. There’s
a growing demand for systems that offer traceability, integrity,
and transparency across multiple parties without relying on
centralized control. Participants can explore solutions for
ledger system, authenticity, or even sharing layer!
R1-05 Enhancing Job The recruitment process often involves manually reviewing
Screening numerous job descriptions (JDs) and CVs, which can be time-
consuming and prone to human error. The goal of this
hackathon is to develop a multi-agentic Al system that can
automatically read and summarize job descriptions (JDs),
match candidate qualifications with the JD, shortlist
candidates, and send interview requests based on the match.
Participants are expected to make a multiagent framework.
R1-06 Defending Government websites, financial portals, and public service
National Web platforms are frequently targeted by coordinated cyberattacks
Infrastructure such as DDoS, defacement, or data exfiltration—especially
from Targeted during geopolitical tensions. These attacks can disrupt critical
Attacks services, erode public trust, and compromise sensitive data.
Many institutions still rely on outdated security infrastructure
and lack proactive detection or rapid mitigation capabilities.
Participants are challenged to build solutions that detect and
block unusual traffic patterns, trace the origin of suspicious
requests without violating privacy, or create real-time
dashboards for monitoring and responding to infrastructure-
level threats. The solution should be lightweight, scalable, and
adaptable to different types of public-facing web applications.
