ManipurTech Innovation Foundation launches 'Reimagining Manipur' hackathon on Sept 23, 2026

ManipurTech Innovation Foundation announced a hackathon named "Reimagining Manipur" scheduled for 23 September 2026. The event is designed to bring together developers, designers, and innovators to create technology‑driven ideas that address local socio‑economic issues. Participants will work in teams over the course of the day, presenting prototypes that could be scaled for wider adoption across the state.
The competition is open to students, professionals and start‑ups from across India, with a focus on solutions relevant to Manipur’s infrastructure, education, health and tourism sectors. Judges from academia, industry and government will evaluate entries based on feasibility, impact and originality.
Organisers hope the hackathon will stimulate a community of tech talent in the Northeast and generate actionable projects that can be piloted with support from state agencies. Winners are expected to receive mentorship, seed funding and potential partnership opportunities.
The initiative aligns with Manipur's broader digital transformation agenda, aiming to leverage local expertise to solve region‑specific challenges.
