A New Chapter for Open, Decentralized AI

The future of decentralized AI is being built right now and India is joining the movement.

This month, developers, researchers, and innovators across the country will gather in Bengaluru, Karnataka for a high-intensity two-day sprint that goes beyond code.

It’s about creating real AI agents, tools, and dApps that solve problems people actually face.

Happening on December 6–7, 2025, and powered by Deep Funding and SingularityNET, the Deep Open Innovation Hackathon 2025 invites India’s brightest minds to co-create AI that’s ethical, open, and built for impact.

Why Open Innovation Matters Now

AI is transforming every corner of our lives, but who controls it?

Open Innovation means building AI that is accessible, transparent, and collaborative. It’s about creating solutions that don’t live in closed corporate silos, but thrive in open ecosystems where everyone can contribute, improve, and benefit.

The DEEP Open Innovation Hackathon (#OIH2025) brings this vision to life through the SingularityNET ecosystem: a decentralized platform where AI services connect, communicate, and evolve together.

Through mentorship, workshops, and community engagement, participants will explore how open technology can fuel social impact and responsible AI innovation across India’s expanding developer ecosystem.

What You’ll Build

This isn’t about theoretical projects. Participants will work with cutting-edge frameworks to create practical, deployable solutions — from autonomous decision systems and scalable agent networks to new AI-as-a-service models integrated directly into the SingularityNET marketplace.

From healthcare and education to sustainability, finance, and agriculture, the challenge is open.

If it uses AI to solve a real-world problem, it belongs here.

Important Dates: 

• Registration: November 25 – December 5, 2025

• Hackathon: December 6–7, 2025

• Results Announcement: Within two weeks after the event

Awards & Recognition

Innovation deserves recognition.

The hackathon celebrates creativity, feasibility, and real-world impact with a $1,500 prize pool. 

Distributed among the top 3 teams:

🥇 1st Place: $750
🥈 2nd Place: $500
🥉 3rd Place: $250

But the real reward goes beyond prizes, participants gain access to expert mentorship, ecosystem visibility, and potential grant support through Deep Funding.

Winning teams will be spotlighted across the SingularityNET and Deep Funding networks, unlocking new opportunities for growth and incubation.

Who Can Join the Movement

The hackathon welcomes developers, students, and researchers from Indian tertiary institutions.

You can participate solo or form teams of up to five members, because the best ideas often emerge from collaboration.

Projects must be built around Artificial Intelligence or machine learning as their core. Participants are encouraged to explore frameworks and tools that best fit their ideas, focusing on innovation, technical quality, scalability, and real-world impact.

Judging criteria include innovation, real-world impact, technical quality, presentation clarity, and scalability.

Join the Future of Open AI

The DEEP Open Innovation Hackathon isn’t just about competing, it’s about contributing to a global movement shaping how humanity builds AI.

It’s proof that great ideas can come from anywhere, and that collaboration beats competition every time.

India has always been a hub of innovation and talent.

Now, it’s time to bring that energy to the global stage  and build the future of open, ethical, and decentralized AI together.

Don’t miss your chance! Registrations are open until December 5, 2025.
