Xathon 2026
About this event
A two-day AI innovation challenge at the BeyondX Building where teams build working AI-assisted prototypes across four mission tracks, with mentorship, cash prizes and incubation pathways for top teams.
Xathon runs as a mission-driven build weekend rather than an open-ended hackathon. Teams pick one of four tracks and ship a working AI-assisted prototype against it over two days.
The tracks are smart cities, the creator economy, mobility and EV, and health and longevity. Mentors are available throughout the build rather than only at judging, which tends to matter more for teams without a complete skill set in the room.
Cash prizes and sponsor rewards go to winning teams, and top teams can access incubation pathways afterwards. Open to working professionals and aspiring founders, with limited seats. Run by Padang & Co at the BeyondX Lab on Keppel Road. No admission fee is listed on the event page.
