AI Builders is partnering with TEAMZ Summit 2026 to host a hackathon during Japan’s largest AI conference in Tokyo. The event will bring together developers, founders, and AI builders to create real AI products in a fast-paced environment while surrounded by one of the most influential technology gatherings in Asia.
Participants will compete during a fixed hackathon window where they must build a production-ready AI prototype or feature. This is designed to be an intense build sprint rather than a traditional demo day. Teams will develop their projects on-site and then present them to a panel of judges. Projects will be evaluated based on technical execution, real-world usefulness, and the clarity and quality of the presentation.
The hackathon takes place during TEAMZ Summit 2026, a major international conference that gathers more than 10,000 attendees from over 50 countries and features around 130 speakers. The summit attracts government officials, major enterprise leaders, investors, and innovators from across the AI and technology industries. Notable participants include Satsuki Katayama (former Minister of Finance & Financial Affairs), Yuichiro Tamaki (Leader of the Democratic Party for the People and Member of the House of Representatives), Takashi Sano (Chief Investment Officer at Mitsubishi UFJ Innovation Partners), Naoto Shimoda (Head of Digital Strategy at SMBC), and entrepreneur Takafumi Horie.
Participants will be able to build using any technology stack, tools, or AI APIs they prefer. Several sponsors will support the hackathon by providing technical tools, infrastructure, and credits to accelerate development. Bright Data will provide large-scale web data infrastructure and datasets used by AI teams. Qoder offers an AI-native development platform designed to help developers build production-ready features quickly. Zeabur provides a cloud deployment platform that enables one-click deployment and scaling without complex DevOps processes. Nosana offers decentralized GPU computing resources that allow teams to run AI inference workloads without relying on traditional centralized cloud providers.
In addition to prizes such as development credits and tools, winning teams will gain recognition in front of investors, founders, and developers from across Asia and beyond. The event is designed for builders who actively develop products and want to turn ideas into working AI solutions.
The hackathon will be held at Happo-en (八芳園) in Minato, Tokyo, a historic venue that blends traditional Japanese architecture with modern technology events.
