Organisers

Centre for Digital Innovation (CDI), established in 2015, is a special centre to innovate and provide research oriented digital solutions. CHRIST (Deemed to be University) has been providing research support to different industry organizations in the field of technology, finance, marketing and business strategy etc. We also collaborate with software companies to offer IT internship to foreign as well as our own students. Off late, University ERP development was also brought under CDI.

CDI is actively engaged in international collaborations with IT companies, government agencies, research organizations and universities across the globe. It offers research and development consultancy to IT companies at international level. It aims to cultivate global research and skill development opportunities in the area of digital innovation.

South Korea, renowned for its global technology leaders such as Samsung, LG, and Hyundai, has maintained a robust and fruitful relationship with India. A concrete manifestation of this collaboration was the establishment of the Indo Korea Science and Technology Center (IKST) by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), Korea's premier research organization, at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. The IKST was officially inaugurated on January 27, 2010, by the esteemed former President of India, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.

This Indo Korea Science and Technology Center serves as a catalyst for further strengthening the scientific and technological exchanges between India and South Korea. It acts as a hub for collaborative research, knowledge sharing, and the development of innovative solutions. By leveraging the expertise and resources of both nations, the IKST paves the way for breakthrough advancements in various domains.

Contest

HackTech 2023 commences with a programming skills contest, designed to identify participants with strong technical abilities and a solid programming foundation. Successful contestants proceed to Phase II for programming skill development workshop, led by industry experts, to further refine their coding abilities.

Following the Phase II, the chosen participants enter the Phase III - ideation and prototype building. Under experts' guidance, they delve into a designated theme, brainstorm innovative ideas, and fine-tune their project concepts. Participants transform their concepts into tangible prototypes, putting their problem-solving skills to the test under pressure. Before submitting their final prototypes, participants benefit from a final expert interaction to ensure the highest standards are met. 

The evaluation process determines the deserving winners who will be rewarded with exciting prizes for their remarkable accomplishments.
