PHASE: 1
PHASE: 2
INTEGRATE PHASE: Connect and Conquer Your Data
In this phase, you'll dive into Denodo Express Design Studio. Your mission: connect with the challenge's provided datasets and even bring in your own researched data. Beyond just creating data sources and base views, you'll combine these views using powerful relational algebra operations - think joins, group-bys, and projections - to forge your ultimate, unified data views.
MANAGE PHASE: Optimize for Efficiency and Security
Now, let's refine your data. In this phase, you'll use Denodo Express Design Studio to focus on two critical aspects for your views: process efficiency and robust security/data governance. By mastering these, you'll not only streamline operations but also safeguard valuable data and drastically reduce risks.
DELIVER PHASE: Unlock Insights and Solve the Challenge
This is where your hard work pays off! In the Deliver Phase, you'll leverage the powerful final views you created to extract valuable insights and solve the core challenge problem. Don't hold back-we encourage you to showcase your data management prowess through custom views, just be sure to provide clear justification for your choices.
Your Path to Victory
We're looking for true data mastery! Our evaluation will focus on your data management competency and your ability to clearly interpret and explain your results. We'll be assessing every step you take, from your documented processes and efficiency to how skillfully you combine and integrate both the provided datasets and any additional ones you bring in.
Now, it's time to bring your innovative ideas to life! In Phase 2, your ultimate goal is to submit a compelling recording, no longer than 15 minutes, showcasing your final product.

General Questions:
A1: It's an exciting opportunity for developers and innovators to explore the potential of generative AI (GenAI), leveraging the Denodo Platform and Agora to embark on AI initiatives. We're focusing on overcoming common GenAI obstacles, like hallucinations, by enabling access to reliable and accurate data.
A2: We're currently finalizing the dates. We anticipate the event to occur sometime in June/early July 2025. Stay tuned for official announcements!
A3: We welcome developers, data scientists, AI enthusiasts, and anyone passionate about building innovative GenAI solutions. Specific eligibility criteria will be announced soon.
A4: The core focus is on building GenAI applications that deliver reliable and accurate results by leveraging the Denodo Platform and Agora to overcome the common limitations of providing governed, unified data assets for reliable GenAI outcomes. More detailed challenge information will be released in the coming weeks.
A5: Besides receiving free enablement content by Denodo instructors and the knowledge and tips shared by the Denodo and AWS experts during Phase 1, the selected participants from Phase 1 will move on to Phase 2 and stand a chance to win one of the 20 prizes which are 12-month free subscriptions to Agora.
1Denodo Agora Subscription is provided free of cost to qualifying winners. Infrastructure, ongoing administration and management costs are the responsibility of the winner
A6: Agora, the Denodo Cloud Service, brings the full power of the Denodo Platform to a fully managed, cloud-based solution, simplifying data management and delivery. Built on data virtualization, Agora unifies data across silos, enabling the creation of AI-ready data products and democratizing access for all users. By offloading infrastructure management and platform operations, Agora lets IT and operational teams focus on strategic business goals. With Agora, organizations gain agility, reduce operational overhead, and fully leverage their data to drive innovation in a fast-changing business landscape.
Technical & Logistics:
A1: The core technology to be used during the activity are:
- Agora, the Denodo Cloud Service - providing the unified, governed access to data
- Denodo AI SDK - Accelerating the development of GenAI based applications
Participants in the hackathon will learn the capabilities and possible solutions that can be created using both Agora and the Denodo AI SDK. During the sessions, participants are welcome to discuss ideas and additional technologies that they may already be using to understand how these additional technologies interact with Agora and the Denodo AI SDK to achieve timely, effective insights.
A2: Yes! We plan to provide resources and training materials to help participants get started with the Denodo Platform and Agora and effectively use them in their GenAI projects.
A3: We encourage team participation, but individual participation is also allowed. We will provide more details on team sizes and formation guidelines soon.
Agora Subscription is provided free-of-charge to qualifying winners. Infrastructure, ongoing administration and management costs are the responsibility of the winner
A4: The hackathon is a two-stage challenge. Phase 1 involves a 4-6 week training period to build foundational Denodo skills. Advancement to Phase 2, an 8-week advanced stage, requires a higher level of commitment and is by invitation only.
In Phase 2, participants will have access to Denodo mentors for expert guidance. Denodo's selection for Phase 2 is final and based on qualifying criteria.
On completion of Phase 2, you will submit your GenAI-enabled application or solution for judging and be in the running for the free1 12-Month Agora subscription.
A5: Please register your interest on the Hackathon website. We will also be sending out email updates.
