SOFTSWISS, an international software provider, held its SOFTSWISS AI Hackathon 2026, bringing together 34 teams from all departments across the company for a 46-hour development window with the aim of creating practical AI solutions.
The event featured a total prize pool of €25,000 for the winning teams, with participants from 21 countries – from Brazil to Vietnam – supported by 13 mentors and 8 technical consultants.
Unprecedented draw in the history of SOFTSWISS AI Hackathon 2026
For the first time in the history of SOFTSWISS hackathons, two teams shared first place.
One of the solutions that took the top spot captures early business signals and converts them into qualified sales leads, while the other provides an end-to-end mechanism for managing Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) 2.0. Each team received €7,000.
Second place went to a team whose AI-driven casino builder generates colors, visuals, and content to speed up platform setup.
Third place went to the team that created a gamification concept built around city building mechanics.
The competition also included an individual participation track.
The winner presented a proof of concept of an AI tool to review payment service provider (PSP) onboarding documentation.
There was also a special mention of a solution for monitoring brand search results in priority markets.
The future of artificial intelligence and next steps in cross-industry technology
Denis Romanovskiy, Chief AI Officer at SOFTSWISS, commented:
“This hackathon proved once again that real results can be achieved with AI. With around 70% of submitted projects assessed as potentially viable, SOFTSWISS will track all initiatives for structured follow-up.
This result shows that non-technical teams can develop tools with clear potential for the product pipeline.”
SOFTSWISS will now bring this same focus on technology and AI to Tech Race Summit 2026, its debut high-capacity cross-industry technology conference, taking place on September 10 in Warsaw, Poland.
The event will bring together engineers, technology executives, infrastructure experts and product teams to discuss AI, cybersecurity, infrastructure and digital product development.
The program already includes speakers and contributors from Google, AWS, Oracle, Cloudflare, Fastly, Gcore, ScyllaDB and others, with Andrey Doronichev – former Google executive and founder of AI startup Optic – confirmed as the first keynote speaker.
Organizers expect around a thousand participants from the technology and business sectors.
