AI Hackathon

The AI Challenge and Hackathon , organized in partnership between Palestine TechnoPark and Taawon Association as part of Palestine AI Week, is a premier hackathon focused on the next frontier of artificial intelligence. These intelligent systems are capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex tasks independently, representing a major shift in how AI is applied across industries. The challenge will bring together developers, students, researchers, and entrepreneurs from across Palestine to collaborate in building innovative AI solutions that address real-world needs in key sectors such as public services, business automation, education, healthcare, and smart cities.

Over the course of two intensive days, participants will work in multidisciplinary teams to design and prototype AI-powered agents using advanced tools and frameworks, including LLM APIs and modern agentic AI platforms. The program includes technical workshops, mentorship from local and international experts, and a final pitching session evaluated by a panel of industry leaders. Winning teams will receive prizes, mentorship, and opportunities to continue developing their solutions through incubation programs, helping transform ideas into scalable startups and impactful digital solutions.

In addition, the hackathon introduces the AI Innovation Credits Program, a unique initiative supported by Palestinian technology professionals and companies in the diaspora. Through this program, participants will gain access to AI API credits, cloud computing resources, and expert mentorship, enabling them to experiment with cutting-edge technologies and build high-quality prototypes. This collaboration strengthens the connection between local talent and the global Palestinian tech community, opening doors for long-term partnerships, career opportunities, and investment in Palestine’s growing AI ecosystem.
