AirAsia is hosting its first ever public Hackathon.
At Airvolution 2017, startup teams are invited to compete who are resident in any of the 26 nations AirAsia currently operates in, including New Zealand, China, India, Iran and ASEAN countries.
It will take the theme ‘Spearheading Innovation in ASEAN’ and is hosted at AirAsia HQ in Sepang, Malaysia on March 18-19, 2017.
"Innovation is the lifeblood of AirAsia. We live and die by ideas, and this hackathon will provide the perfect environment for the best and brightest to explore new ideas," said AirAsia group CEO Tony Fernandes.
"This year marks the emergence of AirAsia as a digital airline, and I believe this event can spur the kind of radical, creative thinking that will ensure AirAsia remains on the leading edge."
Applications are being accepted for the event until February 19, 2017.
Products will be assessed by a panel of tech and aviation experts and the winner will be awarded with a cash prize, AirAsia BIG Points and free return flights to any AirAsia destination.
