DIVE 2026 — Global Data Hackathon

Busan Metropolitan City

Hosted by Busan Metropolitan City × Busan Technopark

벡스코

<h2>About DIVE 2026</h2>​DIVE 2026 is Busan's premier global data hackathon, bringing together students, developers, data scientists, and creatives to solve real-world problems using real data.​Unlike typical hackathons, every challenge track at DIVE is powered by actual datasets provided directly by public institutions and private companies. No toy data. No synthetic problems. You work on issues that matter — and the organizations behind the data are in the room with you as mentors.​This is the 3rd edition of DIVE, hosted in Busan — South Korea's second-largest city and a rising hub for data and AI innovation.<h2>​Apply</h2>⚠️ Do not apply through this page.
