About this event

PolyHack is a one-of-a-kind platform that empowers students to put their skills to the test in the real world, with enormous rewards waiting for those who excel. We believe that recognizing the efforts of talented students is essential, which is why we have designed this hackathon to provide students with the opportunity to showcase their skills and receive recognition for their achievements.

Being organised by students for students, we are better able to understand what participants want and ensure that we deliver an event that captures their interests and challenges them to push their boundaries. Our goal is to recognize and reward outstanding students who demonstrate creativity, innovation, and excellence in their projects and to showcase their achievements to the wider community, including partners, sponsors, and academia.

By opening up the hackathon to a global audience, we aim to foster collaboration and networking among participants, allowing them to form connections with students from all over the world and gain invaluable experience in a truly international setting.

PolyHack 2022 was the hackathon's founding year, gathering more than 300 participants from 23 regions, 75 educational institutions and 80 majors from the 14 hack days.

For PolyHack 2023, we plan on being bigger and better in terms of quality and giveaways by providing students with the most significant takeaways they could ask for. Moving forward from the Asia-wide competition, we aim to go global. The competition will seek to convene both tech and non-tech participants for a gathering of ideas. 


We will be providing prizes, workshops, career talks and networking sessions so that you can have the most fun!
