HACK SONIC: Exploring the Final Frontier with Technology

Digital Hollywood Corporation, known for its development of IT and digital content training schools, is thrilled to announce the upcoming hackathon, HACK SONIC, which will take place from September 25 to 27, 2026. This year's theme, "HACK the Universe!", invites engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs to apply their skills to revolutionize the relationship between technology and space.

The Concept: Technology Meets Passion

The driving principle behind HACK SONIC is "to express love through technology." The hackathon has previously showcased the creativity and technical prowess of its participants, leading to the development of innovative products that tackle various themes. Past events have seen developers dive into topics like "HACK the Drinking Culture," "HACK the Fandom Life," and more, with teams bringing forth products ranging from AR experiences to AI-driven applications capable of guiding users towards their dreams.

This year's challenge will center around how we can HACK the mysteries of the universe, integrating satellite data and the wonders of astronomy into thrilling new tech products. Participants will be encouraged to explore beyond the conventional boundaries of technology, making space-themed applications and solutions that intrigue and inspire.

Open Innovation Like Never Before

HACK SONIC provides a unique opportunity for companies looking to foster external collaborations and explore new business models beyond their current offerings. Unlike traditional sponsorships limited to logo placements, HACK SONIC allows companies to work directly with GEEKs — developers renowned for their implementation skills. This collaboration opens doors to the real-time creation of prototypes that address specific corporate challenges.

Key Features of HACK SONIC:

1. Collaborations with Talented GEEKs: Participants will spend three intensive days working on prototypes, complete with all-night sessions, ensuring that ideas are taken from concept to reality.

2. Flexible Sponsorship Plans: Depending on your company's goals and budget, three levels of participation—GOLD, SILVER, and BRONZE—are available. The GOLD plan provides priority on negotiations following the event for teams that shine during the demo day, while BRONZE and SILVER plans offer varied benefits from logo placements to ensuring visibility among hackathon participants.

3. Access to Entrepreneurial Networks: Companies that sponsor will gain direct access to over 2,000 members of the G's community, which boasts over 121 startups and a remarkable total of over 17.5 billion yen in raised funds, facilitating networking for potential business opportunities.

Examples of Previous Editions

HACK SONIC has consistently delivered exceptional outcomes. At its inaugural event themed around "HACK the Drinking Culture," the winning team created an innovative AR app that enhanced the drinking experience by allowing users to enjoy drinks alongside their beloved characters while learning about various beverages.

At the most recent event themed around "HACK the Fandom Life," the winning product was an app that enabled countless fans to share unique moments with their favorite celebrities via instant 2-shot photos, illustrating the cross-section of technology and community bonding.

We are now looking for partners to support HACK SONIC with the theme of "HACK the Universe!" happening from September 25 to 27, 2026. We are excited to foster new ideas and innovations in collaboration with sponsors who are eager to make their mark in the tech sphere.
