In a bid to foster innovation and creativity among engineering students in India, Tata Technologies, a global engineering and design services company, has announced the launch of the 3rd edition of its flagship engineering innovation hackathon, InnoVent, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS). This esteemed hackathon offers a unique opportunity for engineering students across India to develop pioneering solutions that address real-world challenges across the mobility value chain.
InnoVent 2026 is built on the success of its previous editions, which have seen a surge in participation from top engineering colleges in India. The hackathon aims to bring together the brightest minds in the country to tackle complex problems and create innovative solutions that can make a significant impact in the industry.
The theme of InnoVent 2026 is centered around the mobility value chain, which includes electric vehicles, autonomous driving, connected vehicles, and more. The hackathon challenges participants to develop solutions that can improve the efficiency, sustainability, and safety of mobility solutions. This could involve developing AI-powered predictive maintenance systems, designing smart charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, or creating advanced driver-assistance systems.
To support the innovative ideas of the participants, Tata Technologies and AWS will provide access to cutting-edge technology and expertise. Participants will have the opportunity to work with AWS’s suite of cloud-based services, including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, to develop their solutions.
