Check out Upcoming Events →RAISE Summit 2025 is a premier event convening the brightest minds across industries to accelerate innovation and drive the future of entrepreneurship, AI, and technology.
Set against the backdrop of the iconic Le Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, RAISE brings together startups, global leaders, and pioneers to connect, collaborate, and chart the next wave of transformative solutions.
This hackathon is your launchpad to showcase your ideas in front of a world-class audience.
In collaboration with our technical sponsors

Push the limits of what’s possible with AI and emerging technologies.
Participants will indicate three preferred Industry Tracks and partner challenges to solve — unleashing their creativity, technical skill, and entrepreneurial spirit.
💡 While each Industry Track will offer a focused challenge, participants are encouraged to bring their own bold ideas and innovative solutions within their chosen track.
As part of the challenge, all teams — across all tracks — must meet the following technical criteria defined by our main partner, Groq:
🔹 Core Requirements (Required for All Tracks — except Qubic):
• Groq API Integration – Every project must integrate the Groq API.
• Llama Models – Each project must use at least one of the Llama models.
❗ Exception: The Qubic Track is exempt from these Groq requirements. Teams building for Qubic are not required to use Groq API or Llama models.
Participants are encouraged to boost their projects by incorporating at least one of the following components:
• MCP
• Compound-beta
• Groq Speech Models
Coral Protocol is designed for teams working across different tracks to build with multi-agent systems. You can use any agent (or build your own) to create agentic software that is faster and more scalable.
Follow this guide to build multi-agent systems 10x faster: https://github.com/Coral-Protocol/build-agentic-software-w-coral-os-agents
Here are some example tracks:
❄️ Snowflake
Participants will use the Snowflake Free Trial environment.
Steps to Redeem Your Snowflake Credits:
1.Visit signup.snowflake.com
2. Complete the sign-up with your Name, Email, etc.
3. You’ll receive confirmation once activated
