[06] FAQ
NeverMile Technology Hackathon takes place on June 20–21, 2026 (2 days, hybrid format).
Onsite venue: Floor 12, Zen Tower, 12 Khuat Duy Tien, Thanh Xuan, Hanoi.
We welcome anyone with ideas or the passion to innovate.
Not required. Your team can include a Japanese speaker, or skip it entirely — our staff includes interpreters to support communication during the event.
Registration closes on Sunday, June 14, 2026 — one week before the event begins.
Solo participation is absolutely welcome — a team of 1 can submit a project too. Teams can have up to 3 members, and we've allocated time on Day 1 specifically for team formation if you'd like to find teammates. Teaming up brings diverse skillsets and perspectives that often improve the final result.
Yes! Anyone who wishes to participate must register individually via the Google Form at the registration link.
Your team fully owns the IP for what you build during the hackathon. Per the rules, all code is released under MIT or Apache 2.0 — which means NeverMile Technology (and any other party) can freely build commercial products on top of it, with attribution.

For projects with strong real-world potential, NeverMile Technology will prioritize follow-up freelance or consulting contracts with the original team to continue development.
