Held at the historic Biltmore in Atlanta, the event served as a collaborative bridge between academia and industry. Participants worked in tracks spanning energy, agriculture, and circular economy, gaining mentorship from seasoned entrepreneurs and corporate leaders. Thummala’s winning project earned her tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026 and an interview for the Cox Cleantech Residency, a program focused on accelerating early-stage climate startups.
Other notable projects included FarmFlow, which provides supply chain intelligence for small-scale farmers, and RetrospectIQ, an AI tool that assists cities in streamlining building retrofits. The hackathon, hosted in partnership with Atlanta Tech Week and the Georgia Cleantech Innovation Hub, continues Cox Enterprises’ long-term investment strategy. Since 2007, the company has funneled over $3 billion into the cleantech sector, aiming to cultivate a talent pipeline capable of addressing complex infrastructure and environmental hurdles.
