為培育當前青年學子銜接未來就業所需之能力，並集結跨領域之創新激盪，中台灣大學系統（中山醫學大學、中國醫藥大學、亞洲大學、東海大學、逢甲大學、靜宜大學）與台灣夥伴學校（長庚大學、國立台中科技大學、國立暨南國際大學、朝陽科技大學、嶺東科技大學）、國際夥伴學校（日本信州大學、新潟大學、義大利University of Turin、University of Modena and Reggio Emilia）結合十五校之特色與優勢專業，舉辦「永續智慧創新黑客松競賽」，共同建立起「永續世代的韌性智慧創新協作平台」，2026年以「Go Further, Go Global」為核心目標，鼓勵學生團隊前來挑戰全球企業命題需求。
本競賽以聯合國17項永續發展目標SDGs（Sustainable Development Goals）為引導，以永續、智慧、創新、韌性為發展主軸，透過實際企業命題，利用智慧科技打造能共榮共利的環境，落實以永續價值為驅動力的創新發展，串聯11校在智慧創新上的韌性與跨校資源，一同打造一創新集思的孵化平台，以優化未來產業之經營管理與服務創新，為後疫情時代的智慧生活，勾勒產業未來策略新藍圖，衍生未來新產品與新服務的商業模式，開啟不同想像及開創更多發展的可能性。
本競賽自2020起已經連續舉辦六年，2025年在中山醫學大學等十一校共同主辦下，競賽共吸引23家企業提出命題，並收到來自全國45所大專校院、417組、約1600位學生投稿，無論企業命題數或報名隊伍數皆創下歷年新高。決賽當天共有135支隊伍、650位學生，以及超過100位來自企業與學界的評審與貴賓共襄盛舉，現場交流熱烈。此平台儼然成為全台灣最盛大的企業命題黑客松競賽。
2026年黑客松以「Go Further, Go Global」為核心目標，串聯學生、企業與學校共同面對永續智慧創新議題的全球新視野。活動不僅產出提案，更強調跨域協作、反覆迭代與落地思維，讓參與者在真實情境中累積可複製的解題能力與社會影響力。
本活動以企業真實議題為起點，將永續挑戰轉譯為可被青年理解與回應的創新命題；透過系統化培力與原型驗證，引導學生把概念轉為可行方案。最終成果不僅回饋企業策略與品牌倡議，也促成可被追蹤的社會影響。
藉由本次競賽提供深化學校端、企業端、學生端三方「共學、共創、共成長」的機會，主要提升學校產學研究能量、強化與在地企業之鏈結；鼓勵學生與不同領域的學生合作，透過跨領域的激盪迸發出新的火花，提升學生的創新力與就業力；同時也透過黑客松競賽為企業提供創新的思維，創新是產業主要的成長動力，當企業帶動出新的創意，即能破壞現有市場均衡，創造性地帶動產業與經濟的成長。

Competition Purpose
To cultivate the competencies required for today’s youth to connect with future career opportunities and to foster interdisciplinary innovation and collaboration, the University System of Central Taiwan (including Chung Shan Medical University, China Medical University, Asia University, Tunghai University, Feng Chia University, and Providence University), together with Taiwan partner institutions including Chang Gung University, National Taichung University of Science and Technology, National Chi Nan University, Chaoyang University of Technology, and Ling Tung University, as well as international partner universities including Shinshu University, Niigata University, University of Turin, and University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, jointly leverage the distinctive strengths and professional expertise of fifteen universities to organize the Sustainable Smart Innovation Hackathon Competition. Together, these institutions aim to establish a “Resilient and Intelligent Innovation Collaboration Platform for a Sustainable Generation.”
In 2026, the competition adopts “Go Further, Go Global” as its core vision, encouraging student teams to take on real-world global enterprise challenges and expand their perspectives toward international innovation and sustainability.
Guided by the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this competition is centered on the core themes of sustainability, intelligence, innovation, and resilience. Through real enterprise-driven challenges, participants are encouraged to apply smart technologies to create environments that promote mutual prosperity and shared value. By integrating sustainable value as the driving force of innovation, the competition connects the resilience and cross-campus resources of eleven universities in the field of smart innovation, jointly building an incubation platform for collaborative creativity and idea exchange.
The initiative seeks to optimize future industrial management and service innovation while outlining strategic blueprints for post-pandemic smart living. Furthermore, it aims to inspire new business models for future products and services, opening pathways for broader imagination and greater possibilities for development.
Since its inception in 2020, the competition has been successfully held for six consecutive years. In 2025, jointly organized by Chung Shan Medical University and ten partner universities, the competition attracted 23 enterprises proposing real-world challenge topics and received submissions from 417 teams representing 45 universities and colleges nationwide, involving approximately 1,600 students. Both the number of enterprise challenges and participating teams reached record highs.
On the day of the finals, a total of 135 finalist teams, over 650 students, and more than 100 distinguished guests and judges from academia and industry gathered for the event, creating an atmosphere of vibrant interaction and exchange. The platform has now become one of Taiwan’s largest and most influential enterprise-driven hackathon competitions.
The 2026 Hackathon, themed “Go Further, Go Global,” aims to connect students, enterprises, and universities in addressing sustainable smart innovation challenges from a global perspective. Beyond generating proposals, the event emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, iterative development, and implementation-oriented thinking, enabling participants to cultivate reproducible problem-solving capabilities and meaningful social impact through real-world scenarios.
Starting from authentic enterprise challenges, the competition translates sustainability issues into innovation topics that can be understood and addressed by young talents. Through systematic mentoring, training, and prototype validation, participants are guided in transforming concepts into feasible and impactful solutions. The final outcomes not only contribute to enterprise strategies and brand initiatives but also generate measurable and trackable social impact.
Through this competition, the platform provides opportunities for universities, enterprises, and students to engage in co-learning, co-creation, and co-growth. The initiative aims to strengthen academia-industry collaboration and research capabilities within universities while deepening partnerships with local industries. Students are encouraged to collaborate across disciplines, generating innovative sparks through interdisciplinary interaction and enhancing both their creativity and employability.
At the same time, the hackathon provides enterprises with innovative perspectives and fresh approaches to problem-solving. Innovation serves as a major driving force for industrial growth; when enterprises embrace new ideas and creativity, they can disrupt existing market equilibrium and creatively stimulate both industrial advancement and economic development.
