World Bank Group Opportunities

Eligible applicants first apply for the Hackathon by 26 September 2026, then accepted participants build and submit their solution during the 3–4 October competition weekend. Applications and entries must be in English. Three winners—one each for agriculture, health and tourism—will be invited to Seoul for the Global AI & Digital Summit. The organizers state reasonable travel, accommodation and designated event expenses for selected winner representatives will be covered. Visa guidance and a support letter are provided, but winners remain responsible for obtaining and paying for their visa unless otherwise approved in writing.

Individuals aged 18–35 at application time from World Bank member countries. Applicants may enter individually or in teams of up to four; every team member must register individually and satisfy eligibility. Active World Bank Group staff, consultants and interns are not eligible.
