Bitget will collaborate with the Google Developer Group (GDG) on a second hackathon, the “AI Accelerate Hack,” as part of Bitget’s Blockchain4Youth CSR initiative. The event will be held at KU Leuven in Belgium on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.
Hackathon Scope and Theme
The “AI Accelerate Hack” is an intense, collaborative competition where developers and designers will work together to build innovative, tech-driven solutions to real-world business challenges. The event is set to bring together 200 participants from diverse backgrounds.
The 10-hour hackathon aims to support and encourage young talents to utilize innovative tools for building the future of the technology sector, focusing on the grand theme: “Fueling fast-paced innovation through the synergy of technology, business, and creativity.”
While the hackathon is primarily designed for Master’s students in Computer Engineering and related disciplines, with a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence, participation is also open to students from other academic backgrounds, recent graduates with up to two years of professional experience, and enthusiastic tech experts.
Event Timeline
The event schedule includes a short opening ceremony, where Bitget will present the Blockchain4Youth initiative and the recently introduced Graduate Program.
This program aims to recruit top university talent and place them directly into real Web3 workstreams. Via this program, graduates join one of the world’s fastest-growing exchanges, collaborate with colleagues from more than 50 countries, and advance through a clear development path that combines rotations, mentorship, competitive compensation, and the chance to ship on the frontier.
The day will then be followed by the core 10-hour hacking period. Groups will present their final projects in the evening, when awards will be distributed to the winning teams.
Bitget’s Ongoing Commitment and Future Initiatives
This event is the second collaboration between Bitget and GDG, following a highly successful hackathon held in May at Constructor University. It is a key part of Bitget’s broader Blockchain4Youth initiative, which includes several ongoing initiatives around the world to spread education and knowledge on the sector.
“Our Blockchain4Youth programs keep on growing and expanding worldwide. Such hackathons are a great opportunity to interact with promising students, share our expertise as mentors, and continuously build our community via shared knowledge,” said Vugar Usi Zade, COO of Bitget .
Looking ahead, the initiative will also include the WAIB Summit AI x Web3 Hackathon from November 14-16, a three-day event at KU Leuven that will bring together students, developers, entrepreneurs, and researchers to build groundbreaking solutions at the frontier of artificial intelligence and Web3.
