What It's About

Reimagine the Future of Agentic AI with Denodo + AWS

The Denodo GenAI Hackathon Challenge is more than a competition — it's your gateway to accelerating enterprise AI adoption and agentic AI use cases across industries using a governed, scalable, and cost-effective approach.

Examples of industry use cases:

  • Banking: Customer 360° views and real-time fraud detection
  • Healthcare: AI-assisted diagnostics with regulatory-compliant data access
  • Manufacturing: Predictive maintenance powered by AI agents
  • The Public Sector: Citizen service chatbots that leverage immediate, policy-governed data integration

Why Participate?

  • Solve real-world data challenges using the Denodo AI SDK and universal semantic layer
  • Receive technical mentoring support to help you build AI agents, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and large language model (LLM)-powered apps, for intelligent decision making.
  • Reduce GenAI project costs and time with Agora, the Denodo cloud service

Who Should Participate?

  • Enterprise AI and data teams building scalable GenAI solutions
  • Systems integrators and partners with a cloud + AI focus
  • Developers eager to demonstrate innovation
  • Anyone passionate about AI, data, and cloud transformation

By combining Denodo’s SaaS platform (Agora) for logical data management with the robust scalability and security of AWS, you’ll gain the tools and cloud infrastructure needed to build production-ready GenAI solutions that are trusted, secure, and agile.

* Students can join our exclusive University Challenge!
