About hackUST

hackUST is an annual hackathon at HKUST since 2014 which aims at cultivating student innovation and entrepreneurship through providing a platform for both technical and non-technical students with like-minded interest to tackle problems with creative ideas and solutions.

The hackUST is more than a platform for the students to tackle problems but a platform with a pool of talents with entrepreneurial mindset who are potential candidates sought after by organizations which are looking for new recruits and creative solutions adoptable for their operations.

With 8 years of development, the hackUST + hardUST has become the largest hackathon held in the Greater China region. [NEWS] It is also one of the most sought-after hackathon events by university students around the world.
