Dassault Systemes Launches Energize India Hackathon
French software solutions provider Dassault Systemes on April 23 2026 announced the launch of the Energize India Hackathon 2026, an initiative aimed at designing green-energy solutions. The program is will see energy startups, MSMEs, OEMs, policy-makers, researchers and industry professionals collaborate to co-create next-generation solutions across hydrogen, nuclear, renewables, solar, energy storage, battery technology and industrial decarbonization.
The hackathon will last for aduration of 60 days, starting from March 26 when the registrations started, till June 26 which will see all teams showcasing their solutions. Teams participating in the hackathon will be leveraging Dassault Systemes’ 3DExperience platform to develop tangible, data-driven, and virtually simulated solutions for today’s most pressing energy challenges. Students, start ups, researchers and innovators can develop virtual twin-based solutions that are scalable in real world across four critical domains, viz., Hydrogen Innovation Ecosystem, Renewable Energy Systems (Solar, Wind & Tidal), Nuclear Energy Innovation, and Energy Storage and Battery Innovation.
The jury for the hackathon will be comprised of members from NITI Aayog, National and State Government startup missions, Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, and executives from energy conglomerates.
Submissions will be evaluated on their potential to address large, urgent and systemic energy challenges.
Speaking about the hackathon, Deepak NG, Managing Director, India, Dassault Systemes, said, “Energy is the backbone of India’s economic ambition and climate commitment powering our factories, our cities and our digital future. As India bets big on renewables, green hydrogen and storage, the real differentiator will be how fast we can design, test and scale new ideas sustainably. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and virtual twins, Dassault Systemes provides Indian innovators a way to simulate tomorrow’s energy systems before they are built, de-risking decisions and accelerating impact. Energize India Hackathon 2026 is our call to entrepreneurs, students and researchers to help shape a cleaner, more resilient energy future not in decades, but in this decade.”
