Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2025 4:17 am
It’s almost a wrap on 2023! A lot happened this year and we’re taking a look back at hackathons at Devpost. 2023 was a busy year for hackathons. It isn’t surprising—everyone from product marketers to innovation leaders has been under added pressure to deliver results this year, and hackathons are a proven way to make a big impact in a short time frame.
It also wouldn’t be a true 2023 recap without mentioning AI. Companies worldwide are trying to learn how to use AI as quickly as possible to get ahead and avoid falling behind. We saw this in both public and internal hackathons.

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at hackathons powered by Devpost.com in 2023.
