A high-stakes hackathon focused on agentic AI, autonomous systems, and next-gen defense tech to solve global security challenges.
The Singapore Defense Tech Hackathon (SDTH) is a premier global launchpad for defense technology co-organized with NUS Enterprise and TUM Venture Labs. The event brings together 120+ engineers, founders, and operators to tackle real-world security challenges. The mission focuses on 'Readying the Little Red Dome'—developing next-generation air defense using agentic AI, physics-based digital twins, and additive manufacturing. Participants can engage in a 2-day challenge or an exclusive 3-month extended track. Focus areas include Autonomous Command & Control (C2), AI & Agentic Systems, Sensor-to-Shooter Integration, Counter-UAS, and Electronic Warfare. The event serves as Phase 1 of a 9-month incubation program through the NUS Defence Tech Venture Lab, offering up to $30,000 in prizes and a pathway to startup funding.
