Japan's largest hack event for students aspiring to be innovators, JPHACKS 2023, was attended by Hexabase as a Gold Sponsor. As part of our sponsorship, Hexabase offered the Hexabase Prize, granting the winners an internship opportunity to work with the Hexabase team.

The Hack Day held on 10/28-29 kicked off with a grand event connecting all venues online, where all participants joined in. Following that, teams were formed at each venue, and over the course of two days, they went through planning, development, creating pitch materials, and finally pitching their ideas.

The diversity of technologies and their high level was remarkable. Particularly notable was the abundance of products utilizing AI. Moreover, there was a wide range of technologies showcased, including WebUI, mobile apps, integration with IoT devices, and examples using AR.
