An innovation platform where young engineers can showcase their creativity and succeed. That’s better.

For those who have the passion and creativity to engineer a better world, Tata Technologies InnoVent provides the training and mentorship needed to innovate solutions addressing the biggest challenges in the manufacturing industry. Our hackathon aims to ignite the passion for innovation among engineering students, foster collaboration, and provide a platform where they can showcase their talent.

Through the Tata Technologies InnoVent program, engineering students have a unique opportunity to tackle real-world challenges across the product value chain using Generative AI. This initiative, in collaboration with Microsoft and Tata Motors, equips shortlisted project teams with cutting-edge innovation tools and access to Generative AI use cases and technologies. We aim to empower young minds to innovate, design, and engineer next-generation product engineering, product manufacturing, and digital transformation solutions. Top-performing teams will receive mentorship and guidance from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from Tata Technologies, Tata Motors, and the Microsoft Azure community. These experts will help shape the projects for scalability and impact, ensuring that the innovations are practical and transformative.

Together, we will shape the future of technology and engineer a better world. Register your project at Tata Technologies InnoVent now and be a part of this exciting journey. Learn more about the rules and regulations here.
