BioNEST incubation center at CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) and Siddaganga Incubation Foundation are thrilled to jointly organise a Food Hackathon, an exciting opportunity for students passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation in food and agriculture.
This hackathon invites students to apply their creativity, problem-solving abilities, and technical expertise to real-world challenges in the areas of Food Technology, Food Science & Nutrition, Agricultural Technology, and Post-Harvest Technology. Interdisciplinary approaches—such as AI-based or app-based solutions—are also welcome, provided they align with the core themes of food and agriculture. The applications need to be submitted before February 12. The pre-jury evaluation is on February 27, and the finale is on February 28.
The key reasons to participate are that the shortlisted candidates can participate in exclusive workshops led by industry experts. There will be one-on-one mentorship from CFTRI scientists. There is free access to pre-incubation programs, participation certificates for all and cash prizes for winners.
The hackathon is open to all students from diverse academic backgrounds. Teams can consist of a maximum of two members, and participation is completely free., stated a communication from CSIR-CFTRI.
