ββ‘ Hack Days Georgia 2026
βBUILD / VALIDATE / LAUNCH
βGreat ideas deserve more than a pitch. They deserve to be built. π
βBring a problem you care about. Spend the weekend building a working prototype, testing it, and showing what you learned.
βHack Days Georgia honors Niko Kvaratskhelia, founder of Feedc. To those who knew him, Niko was a brother, friend, and partner. He was a self-taught founder who paired big ambitions with hard work, curiosity, and humility. We created this hackathon to carry that example forward and give more people in Georgia a place to start building ideas that can reach the world.
βπ₯ Who can apply
βHack Days Georgia is open to developers, designers, founders, students, and curious builders from any field. First-time hackathon participants are welcome.
βYou must be 17 or older on November 27, 2026 and available to attend in person in Tbilisi, including Fridayβs kickoff and Sundayβs finale.
βApply individually and compete solo or in a team of 2β5. If youβd like to meet collaborators, join Fridayβs team-matching session.

βπ‘ Eight Challenges. Endless Possibilities.
βChoose your direction, explore new technologies, and turn bold ideas into working solutions.
β01 - Web3 / Fintech
βMoney is software now. Payments, stablecoins, trading, on-chain apps. Show us: a live flow on test money. On the chain? Tell us why.
β02 - Agentic Consumer
βApps that act, not just answer: AI that books, buys, finds or fixes things for people. Show us: one real task done end to end.
β03 - Agentic Infrastructure
βBuild what agents run on. If devs would install it, it's in. Show us: real usage and one before/after number.
β04 - Gaming
βMake something people can't put down: AI-native mechanics, living worlds, or just a really fun game. Show us: a playable build, not a trailer.
β05 - Content and Social Media
βEveryone's their own studio now. Tools to make, remix and get paid for anything people watch, hear or read or platforms to connect it.Β Show us: real output and who'sΒ interacting with it.
β06 - Simulation
βSpin up a world, break it, learn something: world models, digital twins, agent societies. Show us: a live run, checked against real data.
β07 - Deep Tech
βAtoms, not just bits: hardware, robotics, bio, energy, space, quantum. Show us: the hardest part, working. Sims and recorded data count.
β08 - Cybersecurity
βAttackers have AI now. So do you. Agent security, fraud, deepfakes, vulns. Show us: attack, then defense, live. Authorized targets only.

ββ No restrictions on your preferred technology stack. Eight challenges, one shared judging framework.
