  • Post‑event incubation pathways for top teams

Key Outcomes

  • Engage 2,000+ participants across 6 cities
  • 100+ working prototypes; 20–25 finalists
  • Repeatable national talent & product playbook
  • >30% women participation & provincial representation
  • Pilot/accelerator/seed pathways in 3–6 months

Challenges & Tracks

Pick the track that best fits your team. You can only register for one track.

TRACK 01

Agentic Coding Challenge

Build a functional multi‑agent system (min. 2 collaborating agents) addressing a national‑priority problem. Integrate at least one Google API or service, and demonstrate end‑to‑end orchestration.

  • Domains: Agri • Fintech • Climate • Health • Education • Public Service
  • Deliverables: Codebase, architecture diagram, short demo video, deployment notes
  • Judging: Autonomy, orchestration, ML sophistication, real‑world feasibility
  • Location: Regional Rounds in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Bahawalpur, Peshawar, Gilgit‑Baltistan. National Finale in Islamabad
  • Prizes: Cummulative Cash Prizes of PKR 3M for Regional and National Winners and Runnerups 
 
 

TRACK 02

Vibe Coding Challenge with Firebase Studio

Prototype a production‑ready application using Google Firebase Studio with built‑in agentic workflows. Solutions should target the same national‑priority domains, emphasizing usability, localization, and rapid deployability.

  • Mandatory: Built on Google Firebase Studio
  • Deliverables: App project, design doc, demo video, deployment & cost notes
  • Judging: UX, practicality, integration quality, impact potential
  • Location: Digital Submissions from across Pakistan. National Finale in Islamabad.
  • Prizes: Cummulative Cash Prizes of PKR 1M for  Winners and Runnerups

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between Track 1 (Agentic Coding Challenge) and Track 2 (Low Code App Dev with Firebase) and how do I choose?

Track 1 invites teams to build a working multi-agent AI system using at least one Google API, ideal for teams with coding and ML experience; Track 2 is built on Google Firebase Studio for rapid app prototyping using agentic workflows—with minimal coding required, ideal for innovators focusing on usability and UX. Both tracks focus on solving real-world challenges in domains like AgriTech, FinTech, Climate, Health, Digital Inclusion, and Public Service.

Who can participate and how do I register?

Any Pakistani citizen or permanent resident aged 18 to 35, from any professional or academic background—including those without formal AI or coding experience—can register. Teams of 2–5 individuals apply via the “Register Now” link on the hackathon webpage and select either Track 1 or Track 2.

Are there any participation fees and what happens if my team wins?

Participation is absolutely free. Selected finalists will compete for cash prizes in both tracks, receive access to mentorship, investor exposure, and post-event incubation opportunities.

When and where are the regional rounds and national finale taking place?

Regional rounds for both tracks will take place across six cities: Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Bahawalpur, Peshawar, and Gilgit-Baltistan. Finalists from each region will gather in Islamabad for the prestigious National Finale.

What kind of support will be available during the hackathon?

Participants in both tracks will gain access to mentorship sessions, hands-on workshops, cloud credits, and real-time guidance—courtesy of our Knowledge Partner, Systems Limited, and Technology Partner, Google.

What does the evaluation process look like for both tracks?

Each track has its own criteria: Track 1 is judged on agent design, orchestration, technical quality, real-world feasibility, and demonstration. Track 2 is evaluated on usability, integration quality, design workflow, localization, and accessibility, including the demos. Detailed evaluation rubrics will be shared with participants and chapters in advance.
