The next generation of builders. One international stage.

InnovaHack is an international hackathon organized by Elite Forums. Its first edition took place in 2026. The second edition — Chapter 2 — is planned for 2027 as a larger, international platform for technology innovation, AI development, original products, startup ideas and practical problem-solving.

Chapter 2 runs in two rounds: a free online first round, then a hybrid final in which teams of up to 4 people compete offline or online, at ₹1,000 per team. It focuses on exactly two official competition domains: Artificial Intelligence, and Open Innovation / Startup Track.

Why Mumbai?

This edition's visual identity is inspired by Mumbai — its black-and-yellow taxis, red BEST buses, local trains, heritage architecture, coastline, street food and creative culture. Mumbai was named in the original Chapter 1 event materials, and its energy shapes how this edition looks and feels.

The event itself is international. Builders from around the world are welcome, and the venue for the offline part of the final has not yet been announced.

About the design

"The Innovation Times" is the design concept behind this website: a special newspaper edition about innovation without borders. It is not a separate news publication, and the illustrations are original artwork inspired by the city.
