Why Hackathons

Pick your primary goal.

24 hours or even 48 hours may not be enough for most people to build anything significant but if you have participated in a hackathon before, you would've seen the kind of great ideas that can be built within a short period of time. Here are some of the major benefits of hackathons.

Tech Innovation

Attract talented techies, creatives & entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving problems through technology. They can bring fresh ideas to your organisation. Our participants have always managed to build amazing prototypes within 24-48 hours.

Branding & PR

It’s always great to position your brand as a tech ecosystem enabler, tech employer and showcase your commitment towards innovation. Organising hackathons will definitely add a “cool” factor to your brand and as an employer.

Community Engagement

Great opportunity to build an active tech community around your brand by actively engaging your local techies & creatives. It’s great to build a long term relationship with the tech community, which can help activate many other innovation programmes.

HR & Recruitment

Solid platform to identify tech and creative talents for recruitment. You are able to observe potential talents in action, and their ability to work in a team. At a JomHack hackathon you will be able to directly interact with 300 - 500 potential candidates.
