Build. Ship. Win.
VIBEATHON is HEC's cross-program hackathon bringing together builders, designers, engineers, and founders for a 24-hour sprint to create real products, solve real problems, and compete for sponsor bounties.
Morning
Lunch
Afternoon
Your submission should bring your idea to life through:
It is possible to win multiple tracks.
Build something bold from scratch. You are free to create any idea — a product, a platform, or a completely new way of doing things — as long as it solves a real problem and has the potential to grow into something meaningful. We are looking for ideas that are not only creative, but clearly thought through: a strong understanding of the problem, a compelling solution, and a vision for how it could evolve beyond this weekend.
Reimagine the future of healthcare. Build solutions that improve prevention, tools for professionals, and speed from discovery to treatment. Think prevention, tools for healthcare professionals, reducing the time from discovery to treatment. Projects can tackle prevention, diagnosis support, patient communication, clinical workflows — anything where AI can make a meaningful difference in healthcare.
Create products that users genuinely enjoy using. Reward teams who leverage Lovable creatively and build intuitive, elegant experiences. Best use of Lovable. We're looking for the most creative and functional product built with Lovable.
Build something with real GCC market potential — what you ship matters more than what you say. Builder mindset over pitch polish. We reward international ambition and solutions designed to scale in one of the world's fastest-moving regions. Focus areas: Smart cities & urban infrastructure, operational efficiency & process automation, climate & resource efficiency (energy, water, waste), AI-native applications built for the GCC context, trade logistics & cross-border commerce.
Design solutions with strong real-world applicability and long-term potential. Ideas that can be tested, deployed, and scaled in real environments. This year we're partnering with AMANII (AI copilot for midwives detecting postpartum depression in Côte d'Ivoire) and Stop au Chat Noir (tools to support access to justice for survivors in Côte d'Ivoire). Mental health is deeply taboo in CIV, young women have almost no access to psychologists, and midwives often end up filling that role without any training for it. The decision stays human — AI structures and supports.

Alay-Merchant
This product helps a person who suspects something is wrong in their relationship but does not yet clearly identify it as abuse. The product uses a conversational interface to help them narrate what is happening. The app then reflects that narrative back as a story about a fictional third person, creating emotional distance and helping the user recognize patterns without the app explicitly labeling them. The app lets them submit their case for anonymized lawyer triage.

Proactive post vaccination/medicaction follow up web application
Anusha Ganivada
Today, every day a drug launch is delayed can cost up to $800,000 in lost revenue. Yet clinical trial decisions are still made through a slow and opaque process — teams rely on spreadsheets, iterate for weeks with CROs, and ultimately commit based on just one or two scenarios. The problem is not just speed. It’s that teams cannot explore enough options before making multi-million decisions. We built Axion to fix this.

Silk Route by OurDarb structures cross-border road travel across the GCC into a coordinated, bookable system. Today, high-frequency corridors operate informally, with vehicles traveling partially empty. We convert these fixed journeys into shared seat inventory. Drivers post trips, passengers book seats, and capacity is optimized across outbound and return routes. We don’t create rides—we organize movement that already exists.
