Nearly 4,000 engineers in 770 teams built AI-based solutions for manufacturing, healthcare, mobility, cybersecurity, and other industries during an engineering hackathon.
L&T Technology Services (LTTS) has concluded Engineering Intelligence OpenHack 2026, a global hackathon focused on developing AI-based engineering solutions. The event was held simultaneously across nine locations in India, the US, and Europe.
The hackathon brought together nearly 4,000 engineers, forming more than 770 teams, from Bengaluru, Mysuru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Vadodara, Mumbai, Dallas, and Munich. Participants worked on over 500 engineering challenges covering software-defined mobility, industrial automation, energy, digital manufacturing, AI infrastructure, MedTech, and software platforms.
The teams developed AI-driven solutions for areas such as industrial automation, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, supply chain management, enterprise operations, and healthcare. The aim was to address practical engineering problems and improve products, manufacturing processes, and business operations.
The entries were evaluated by a panel of senior LTTS leaders and technology experts based on innovation, technical execution, scalability, practical value, and use of AI. Winning teams received cash prizes worth more than ₹30 lakh. Selected projects will be further developed through Project Equinox, the company’s platform for scaling promising ideas, while patent-worthy innovations have been shortlisted for intellectual property support.
Congratulating the participants and winning teams, Mritunjay Kumar Singh, Chief Operating Officer, L&T Technology Services, said “The EI OpenHack 2026 reflects LTTS’ vision of Engineering Intelligence, where engineering expertise and AI come together to solve real-world industry challenges. What stood out was not only the scale of participation, but the ability of our engineers to apply contextual understanding, domain knowledge and AI prowess to develop solutions with tangible business relevance. Initiatives like OpenHack create opportunities for our talent to experiment, collaborate and develop solutions that will shape the future of engineering.”
