BioNEST Incubation Centre at CSIR’s Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) and Siddaganga Incubation Foundation will be jointly organising a food hackathon to give an opportunity to students passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation in food and agriculture.
The hackathon invites students to apply their creativity, problem-solving abilities, and technical expertise to real-world challenges in food technology, food science and nutrition, agricultural technology, and post-harvest technology. Inter-disciplinary approaches such as AI-based or app-based solutions are also welcome, provided they align with the core themes of food and agriculture.
The shortlisted candidates will get an opportunity to participate in exclusive workshops by industry experts, one-on-one mentorship from CFTRI scientists, free access to pre-incubation programmes, participation certificates and exciting cash prizes for winners.
The hackathon is open to all students from diverse backgrounds. Teams can consist of a maximum of two members, and participation is completely free.
The last date to submit applications is February 12.
For details, interested persons can write to managerbionest@cftri.res.in or call 0821-2412608. For more information, visit their website.
