Xathon 2026

BeyondX Lab is running #Xathon, an AI innovation challenge in Singapore (supported by Padang & Co) that brings professionals and aspiring builders together to explore how AI can solve real-world problems.

Over a hands-on Build & Validate workshop (19 Aug) and a two-day hack weekend (26–27 Sep), participants will pick a mission, form a team, and turn an idea into a working AI-assisted prototype — with community mentors and tools on hand.

There are four innovation missions to choose from:
🏙️ AI + Smart Cities: making cities more adaptive, efficient, and human
🎨 AI + Creator Economy: reshaping how we create, learn, and communicate
🚗 AI + Mobility / EV: reinventing movement in dense cities
🩺 AI + Health / Longevity: extending healthy human performance

Who should join?
💡 Professionals and aspiring founders with an idea worth building. You may come with your own team or sign up as an individual and get paired with like-minded builders.

What's in store for you?
🏆 Cash prizes and sponsor rewards, mentorship from community experts, investor and ecosystem access, media exposure, and a potential incubation pathway. The top three teams advance to showcase their solutions at BeyondXpo on 12 October, in front of industry leaders.
