Batam - Singapore Hackathon 2026

Tired of hackathons that feel like toy problems?

What if you could apply your enterprise expertise — in scalable systems, AI/ML, cloud architecture, IoT, sustainability tech, or digital transformation — to challenges that matter for developing island cities worldwide?

Batam Singapore Hackathon 2026 (August 15–16, 2026) is different. Hosted by Batam Innovation Center at State Polytechnic of Batam (Politeknik Negeri Batam), this tech-agnostic build festival focuses on high-impact, real-world problems facing Batam — a fast-growing Indonesian island strategically located near Singapore.

Solutions here have direct potential as blueprints for Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) nations and emerging cities across Southeast Asia and beyond.

Key Tracks & Challenges Include:

Digital Infrastructure & Data Centers: Closing digital skills gaps, sustainable water & energy operations for next-gen facilities.

Ease of Living & Sustainability: Smart mobility & cross-border logistics, circular economy for waste, enhanced digital public services.

Tourism & Economic Development (and more — full details on the site).

This is your chance to:

Build production-grade prototypes with real stakeholders (local government, industry, cross-border partners).

Collaborate with top builders from Singapore, Indonesia, and global talent.

Network with CXOs, investors, and innovation leaders in a growing digital hub (think data centers, green tech and manufacturing 4.0).

Enjoy a festival vibe on a tropical island while creating meaningful impact.

Whether you're an enterprise architect designing resilient systems, a domain expert in sustainability or smart cities, or a senior developer who loves turning complex problems into scalable solutions, your skills are exactly what’s needed.

Limited spots — ~25–30 teams (100–120 builders) will be selected for diversity and quality.

Early applications are already coming in from across continents.
