Hackathons | Bolt Consultancy

Time-Boxed Creativity

We create intense, high energy environments where teams go from idea to prototype in just days. It's innovation under pressure with rapid ideation, fast-paced building, and pitching that counts.

Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration

Our hackathons bring together engineers, designers, creatives, entrepreneurs and domain experts to co-create bold solutions. Different skill sets, one mission: solve, build, innovate together.

Tangible Impact

These aren’t just theoretical exercises. BOLT hackathons are built around real-world challenges, with winning teams often advancing to pilots, incubation or even market entry.

Build For What Comes Next

We don’t stop at the closing ceremony. We help top teams access mentorship, funding and follow up opportunities that keep the momentum going beyond the event.

What makes a BOLT hackathon different?

BOLT hackathons are designed to generate real world solutions and not just ideas that live on slides. We collaborate with partners to define strategic challenges, craft participant journeys and deliver a structured format with clear outputs and long term value.

Do participants need to have a technical background?

Hackathon formats are tailored to the problem at hand. While some are developer focused, others invite cross functional participation from designers, entrepreneurs, researchers and business minds. Diverse teams often lead to stronger solutions.

How long do your hackathons typically run?

Our hackathons range from 24 hour sprints to two week hybrid challenges. Duration and format are adapted to suit the problem, audience and delivery mode whether in-person, remote or a mix of both.

What happens after the hackathon ends?

Winning teams are often invited to continue their journey through pre-accelerators, incubation opportunities, mentorships, funding pathways or pilot projects. We build follow-through into the hackathon design to ensure promising solutions move forward.

Can you design the challenge themes or problem statements?

Challenge design is one of our core strengths. We work closely with clients to define challenge tracks aligned with sector goals, innovation priorities and real industry needs, ensuring they’re ambitious, relevant and innovative.

Do you manage participant sourcing and community engagement?

We support outreach through targeted communications, partnerships with universities and innovation hubs and community engagement strategies. We ensure the right participants show up and stay invested throughout the journey.

Can the hackathon be bilingual or regionalised?

Hackathons can be delivered in multiple languages and tailored to regional contexts. Our multilingual team has experience building inclusive experiences across the MENA region, Europe and Asia.
