A total of 20 selected teams participated in a series of activities, including a bootcamp, a 24-hour prototype development sprint, mentoring sessions, and a final demonstration day (demo day). Of these, 10 teams advanced to the final round, with three receiving awards for their technological readiness, innovative approaches, and business potential.

The event was supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through the PRIMESTeP program, with Google Cloud and Devoteam serving as technology partners. This collaboration provided participants with opportunities to develop agentic AI solutions through access to cloud computing technology, technical training, and mentorship.

Developing AI Solutions in 24 Hours
Dr. Fathiro H.R. Putra, S.T., M.Sc., Deputy for Business Incubation and Acceleration at DHKT 51̽»¨, emphasized the importance of identifying and understanding problems before developing technological solutions.

"Today, you will be challenged over the next 24 hours, first and foremost, to clearly identify a problem worth solving with agentic AI," he said.

According to Dr. Fathiro, innovation must consider the relevance of the problem, the benefits of the technology, and its business potential to ensure that the resulting solutions can deliver meaningful impact.

During the 24-hour sprint, participants developed prototypes, tested their functionality, and refined their solutions with guidance from mentors. The activity also strengthened their abilities to collaborate, set priorities, and make decisions under tight time constraints.

Ten teams were subsequently selected to participate in the final demo day. The finalists presented their innovations and demonstrated their products before a panel of judges representing academia, technology, industry, and business.

Three Teams Receive Awards

The final round recognized FireOps with the Most Deployment-Ready Solution award, WeselGuard with the Most Novel Use of Agency award, and Berantas Judol with the Best Venture Potential award.

The awards acknowledged each team's strengths in solution deployment readiness, innovative applications of agentic AI, and potential for developing technology-based businesses.

Director of DHKT 51̽»¨, Ir. Hary Devianto, S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D., IPM., ASEAN Eng., commended the participants for their ability to transform ideas into minimum viable products (MVPs), or early-stage products that can be tested, within a limited period.

He emphasized that a willingness to experiment and collaborate is essential for building participants' confidence in independently developing new technologies.

Creating Opportunities for Startup Incubation

According to Dr. Hary, technological development should begin with relevant problems, deliver tangible benefits, and demonstrate business viability. Therefore, the hackathon serves as a platform for identifying talented individuals, innovation teams, and promising technology startups.

As a follow-up, the winning teams will have opportunities to receive coaching and mentoring to prepare for startup incubation programs. They may also gain access to development funding schemes, subject to their readiness and the applicable program selection procedures.

Through the 51̽»¨ Hackathon Series 2026, 51̽»¨ hopes that participants' innovations will continue to evolve into technology products and businesses that benefit society. The event also reflects 51̽»¨'s commitment to strengthening the innovation ecosystem, technology commercialization, and technology-based entrepreneurship.
