About the challenge
Qwen AI Build Day is where builders turn ideas into working AI products.
We’re bringing together developers, startups, and AI builders to solve real enterprise-backed challenges using Qwen and Alibaba Cloud technologies.
Confirmed tracks:
- Mobility Track by Tasco
- Financial Services Track by Shin Han Bank
- One additional track to be announced
This is not a “build something random and hope for the best” hackathon.
You’ll get:
- real problem statements from enterprise-backed tracks
- a defined build window
- the chance to be shortlisted among the Top 10 teams for your track
- the opportunity to pitch live in front of enterprise representatives and industry experts
- the chance to win your track and present at ALIBABA CLOUD SME AI GROWTH DAY VIETNAM 2026 on 22 April 2026
For the Financial Services Track, the winning team will receive priority consideration for up to VND 200M in funding per team/startup, subject to successful PoC outcomes, to support product development and pilot scaling for Shin Han Bank.
Whether you’re an engineer, technical founder, product builder, or student with strong execution skills, this is your chance to build something useful, prove what you can do, and get in front of the right people.
