​As part of Bengaluru Tech Week 2026, REVA University brings you IdeateBLR '26—an AI Ideathon that gives students the opportunity to think creatively, solve meaningful problems, and present ideas with the potential to create real impact.

​Competition Tracks

​Track 1 – Building AI Agents on AWS

​Build intelligent AI agents using AWS services to automate tasks, solve problems, and create practical AI-powered applications.

​Track 2 – Open Innovation with AI

​Use AI to solve a problem that matters to you. This track is intentionally open-ended—whether it’s healthcare, finance, education, sustainability, agriculture, entertainment, or any other domain, you decide the problem and the direction of your solution.

​Track 3 – AI for Tomorrow

​Unlike the Open Innovation track, AI for Tomorrow is focused on using Artificial Intelligence to tackle some of today’s most important real-world challenges. Whether your solution helps personalize learning for students, improves public services, makes cities more efficient, or contributes to a more inclusive and sustainable future, this track is all about building AI ideas that can make a real difference in everyday life. Participants can explore ideas in areas like :

• ​Healthcare & Well-being

• ​Smart Cities, Sustainability & Climate Action

• ​Accessibility & Inclusive Technology

• ​Transformation of the Indian Education System through AI.

​Why IdeateBLR?

​The best ideas don't always begin in a startup or a research lab. Sometimes they begin in a classroom, during a late-night discussion with friends, or from noticing a problem that everyone else overlooks.

​IdeateBLR'26 is your chance to take that idea, develop it with guidance from mentors, and present it on a platform that's part of one of Bengaluru's biggest technology celebrations.

​Whether you're participating to learn, network, challenge yourself, or win, you'll leave with new experiences, valuable connections, and hopefully the confidence to take your idea even further.
