Deadline Date: February 20, 2026
The Kerala Startup Mission is currently accepting applications to support the exploration of Agentic AI by advancing autonomous systems capable of independent planning, decision-making, and execution across software, automation, and startup ecosystems.
Autonomous and decision-making agents focused on autonomous task execution, reasoning, planning, and decision intelligence; workflow, operations, and enterprise automation including process automation and productivity tools for startups and enterprises; multi-agent systems and collaboration covering agent coordination, negotiation, orchestration, and swarm intelligence; public services, governance, and social impact through civic technology, policy support, public infrastructure, and governance automation; developer tools and agent infrastructure encompassing agent frameworks, orchestration layers, observability, safety, and deployment tools.
The hackathon is designed as an intensive, hands-on event that challenges participants to move beyond AI as an assistive technology and toward systems capable of independent execution. Participants are encouraged to build solutions that demonstrate autonomy in decision-making and action across real-world use cases.
The event will run as a 24-hour continuous hackathon, providing a focused environment for rapid ideation, development, and testing. This format supports deep technical experimentation while encouraging practical implementations aligned with emerging agentic AI paradigms.
Participation is open to AI developers, startup founders, researchers, product builders, and students who are interested in shaping the future of autonomous systems. All participants must be 18 years of age or older to apply.
