WIUT Hackathon 2026 — Intelligence in Use

WIUT Hackathon 2026 — "Intelligence in Use" is a 48-hour on-campus hackathon at Westminster International University in Tashkent, with the finals running 10–11 October 2026. It is organised by WIUT's Computing Department, which bills it as the country's first inter-university hackathon, in partnership with the Central Bank of Uzbekistan and Mikrokreditbank. Two tracks:

• Computer Vision — build intelligent systems that understand and interpret visual data.
• FinTech / AI in Finance — build AI-powered solutions that change how financial services work.

Format: teams of exactly three students, registered by the team captain. An online elimination round runs 21–25 September 2026; the top 20 teams per track (40 in total) are invited to the two-day final on the WIUT campus, where meals and workspace are provided. Prizes: a total pool of 90,000,000 UZS across the two tracks, plus mentorship and residency at the innoWIUT incubator for the winning teams. All finalists receive certificates and access to partner opportunities. Judging weighs innovation, technical execution, real-world applicability, presentation quality and commercial viability. Registration closes 20 September 2026 via the official hackathon site. Supporting partners listed by the organisers include IT Park Uzbekistan, Yandex ML School, Mikrokreditbank, BYD Royal Motors, Toyota Royal Motors and Ducati. Exact start and end times for the final have not been published; the times shown are indicative.
