โMost hackathons end with a demo. This one ends with a deployment conversation. You know the drill. You build something impressive over a weekend. You demo it. Someone claps. You get a LinkedIn post out of it. Then the prototype sits in your GitHub and everyone goes back to their day jobs. That's not what this is. Agentic AI Build Week is 5 days where Southeast Asia's most serious AI builders come together to build agents that actually work โ and move toward actual deployment. No toy problems. No demo theater. Real enterprise briefs, real infrastructure, real outcomes.
โ๐จ Registering now? Select Builder to compete in the hackathon, or Guest to attend the workshops and Official Kick-Off Day (Jul 11) without submitting a project. Approval required.

โThe Room Has Formed
โBuilders, engineers, and leaders from AWS, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Tencent Cloud, Vietjet, VNG Games, KFC Vietnam, Tasco, Phong Vu, Shinhan Future's Lab, GoTymeX, Guardian, and 100+ technology, enterprise, and ecosystem partners are in the room this week โ building, mentoring, judging, and having pilot conversations on Demo Day. These aren't logos on a slide. They're the people evaluating what gets built.

โWhat Makes This Different
โEvery problem statement is real. Every winning solution is evaluated for deployment โ not demo polish. Enterprises evaluate and can deploy winning solutions after Demo Day; a strong build could be live within 90 days.
โ๐ก Not a traditional hackathon. Real enterprise briefs, real constraints, real evaluators with authority to greenlight a pilot. ๐ก Production-first. Builds are judged on deployment-readiness, not 5-minute demo polish. ๐ค First in SEA โ twice over. Robotics & Physical AI and Gaming AI have never had a dedicated track at a Southeast Asian hackathon before. Both debut here. โก The full AI stack is in the room. AWS, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Anthropic, Qwen, hyperscalers, model providers, and dev tooling โ all present for one week.
โThe Tracks โ Ten Industries, Plus Founder Mode
โEach track is backed by a partner or investor network. Problem statements publish July 1; confirm your team's track on Devpost (max 60 teams/track, first come first served).
