Digital Skills for Success

THE DS2S HACKATHON

15 universities. 3 countries. 3 days.

The DS2S Hackathon brings together student teams from across India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh to work on real, industry-sourced challenges using digital and AI tools. It's not just a competition — it's a learning journey that begins weeks before the event, builds through mentorship and bootcamps, and continues after submissions close through showcases and internship pathways.

No technical background needed. Open to students from every discipline - business, social sciences, humanities, design, public policy. The focus is on clear thinking and problem-solving, not coding.
