Since February 2018, Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) organises the UAE Hackathon every year, to enhance innovation and contribute to the happiness of the UAE society.

In rapid evolving changes of the emerging technologies, we will launch the 7^th edition of the UAE Hackathon as a hybrid version to enable innovators from all sectors across the UAE to take part in creating technological solutions to various challenges that face all UAE's sectors. We aim to design a sustainable digital future and contribute to realizing the UAE Centennial 2071.

Viewed as the largest competitive event for innovation at the national level, the UAE Hackathon reflects the efforts of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) to disseminate the culture of digital transformation in the country.

As a result of the great success achieved by the UAE Hackathon in the past 6 years, TDRA is going to organise it in February 2024, which coincides with the Month of Innovation. Accordingly, we launched this consultation to collect your thoughts and suggestions regarding challenges to be tackled during the UAE Hackathon, in addition to any ideas related to training materials and partnerships to achieve the goals of the event.
