Agentic AI Build Week powered by GenAI Fund
Description
The Largest Agentic AI Hackathon in ASEAN 🌏🔴 LIVE NOW — July 8–12, 2026 — Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamView Event Website: https://aabw.genaifund.ai/2,000+ AI builders · 500 agentic projects · 30 AI enablers · 10 enterprises. Build Week is underway — if you're just finding us, there's still time to register for the Official Kick-Off (Jul 11) and Demo Day (Jul 12).Locations by day(please register for the workshop separately):Each workshop day (Jul 8–10) has its own venue and check-in — please don't come to Galaxy Innovation Park before Jul 11.Most hackathons end with a demo. This one ends with a deployment conversation. You know the drill. You build something impressive over a weekend. You demo it. Someone claps. You get a LinkedIn post out of it. Then the prototype sits in your GitHub and everyone goes back to their day jobs. That's not what this is. Agentic AI Build Week is 5 days where Southeast Asia's most serious AI builders come together to build agents that actually work — and move toward actual deployment. No toy problems. No demo theater. Real enterprise briefs, real infrastructure, real outcomes.🚨 Registering now? Select Builder to compete in the hackathon, or Guest to attend the workshops and Official Kick-Off Day (Jul 11) without submitting a project. Approval required.The Room Has FormedBuilders, engineers, and leaders from AWS, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Tencent Cloud, Vietjet, VNG Games, KFC Vietnam, Tasco, Phong Vu, Shinhan Future's Lab, GoTymeX, Guardian, and 100+ technology, enterprise, and ecosystem partners are in the room this week — building, mentoring, judging, and having pilot conversations on Demo Day. These aren't logos on a slide. They're the people evaluating what gets built.💰 Up to $1,000,000 in AI Credits and Perks — Yours Just for Showing Up Registered builders get access to a $1M+ credit pool spanning the full AI stack — AWS, Tencent Cloud, Microsoft for Startups, Google for Developers, Kimi, Qwen, Agora, Langfuse, ClickHouse, BytePlus, TRAE, Notion, ZenRows, Bright Data, Apify, TinyFish, Antitech, n8n, Daytona, Featherless, and Virtuals. Perks access is open now — claim yours in the Event Portal at aitalent.genaifund.ai.What Makes This DifferentEvery problem statement is real. Every winning solution is evaluated for deployment — not demo polish. Enterprises evaluate and can deploy winning solutions after Demo Day; a strong build could be live within 90 days.💡 Not a traditional hackathon. Real enterprise briefs, real constraints, real evaluators with authority to greenlight a pilot. 💡 Production-first. Builds are judged on deployment-readiness, not 5-minute demo polish. 🤖 First in SEA — twice over. Robotics & Physical AI and Gaming AI have never had a dedicated track at a Southeast Asian hackathon before. Both debut here. ⚡ The full AI stack is in the room. AWS, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Anthropic, Qwen, hyperscalers, model providers, and dev tooling — all present for one week.The Tracks — Ten Industries, Plus Founder ModeEach track is backed by a partner or investor network. Problem statements publish July 1; confirm your team's track on Devpost (max 60 teams/track, first come first served).Enterprise AIConsumer AI🎙️ The Experts in the Room50+ mentors and speakers — operators who've deployed AI inside real organizations, in the room all week as judges and evaluators.
