This weekend-long competition blends innovation, teamwork, and expert mentorship to develop practical solutions that can drive positive change. Participants will collaborate in teams to solve real-world problems related to humanitarian response, sustainability, and technological advancement.

Since its inception in 2019, the Humanitarian Innovation Hackathon has empowered students to address critical issues such as climate change-induced displacement, access to clean water, and digital solutions for sustainable development.
