Six weeks ago, Chin Hin Group launched the Chin Hin AI Hackathon 2026 with a clear intent โ to challenge finalโyear talents to solve real business problems using AI. Today, we have successfully completed this journey, marking an important milestone.
Our motto throughout this journey has been clear: AI to win. Speed decides. Boldness defines.
Over the past 6 weeks, we brought together 150 final year university talents, forming 37 teams from universities across Malaysia, to build commercial ready AI prototypes using Microsoft Foundry. This was not a classroom exercise, instead teams worked on 12 real-world business challenges, derived directly from our actual business cases and operational processes.
Each team was challenged to deliver impact across two distinct paths:
๐น Productivity Challenge โ improving how work gets done
๐น Business Application Challenge โ building AI-driven business solutions
What made this initiative truly special was the close collaboration with real business owners, enabling participants to co-create minimal viable products (MVPs) that are practical, scalable, and enterprise-ready.
As the hackathon concludes, we are proud to see 7 finalist teams pitching their MVPs, demonstrating bold ideas, rapid ex*****on, and a strong understanding of business realities.
This initiative goes beyond innovation for Chin Hin Group. It reflects our commitment to:
โ
Advancing our enterprise AI vision
โ
Accelerating the shift from +AI to AI+
โ
Supporting Malaysiaโs aspiration to become an AI Nation by 2030
๐ A heartfelt thank you to our students, mentors, judges, and our partners , , and for making this possible. We look forward to what these future leaders will build next.
