Capgemini Exceller AgentifAI Buildathon

As Capgemini marks the ‘Year of Innovation’ in 2026, we are guided by a single unifying principle: AI for All – Human, Inclusive, and Sustainable. We are thrilled to launch the Capgemini Exceller AgentifAI Buildathon, our flagship Gen AI and Agentic AI competition, designed to help you create real-world AI solutions and make a lasting impact and build together with us.

At Capgemini, we believe technology is rapidly evolving from theoretical concepts in classrooms to practical solutions in the real world. We witness this transformation every day as we develop and implement AI solutions for businesses across various sectors.

The AgentifAI Buildathon, designed as an industry-academia engagement, invites students to immerse themselves in real-world AI problem-solving. Participants will explore GenAI and Agentic AI technologies, develop intelligent solutions for industry challenges, and showcase their innovations directly to the Capgemini industry experts. This event is more than just a competition; it’s a platform where curiosity meets capability, and innovation transforms into action.

Pre Qualification Round

The journey begins on your campus! In the Pre Qualification Round, student teams compete within their own college to earn a spot among the top performers. This stage encourages widespread participation while ensuring only the most promising and well aligned teams move forward. This round will be conducted as a team-based challenge, where participants will work together to complete two activities within 45 minutes. The objective is not just to arrive at answers, but to demonstrate structured thinking, effective collaboration, and the ability to apply technical skills in practical scenarios. The top teams from each college will be shortlisted to represent their institution in the main Capgemini Exceller AgentifAI Buildathon 2026. This round sets the foundation for innovation, energy, and competitive spirit right from the start.

Round 1: Elevator Pitch – Approach & Solution Screening

In Round 2, teams move from concept to concrete design. This phase requires a thorough walkthrough of the solution architecture, technical components, data strategy, LLM workflow, agentic capabilities, and implementation plan. Students will present prototypes, early models, or functional modules that demonstrate their ability to translate ideas into action. Judges will evaluate technical depth, feasibility, innovation, and alignment with enterprise use cases. This round challenge participant to refine their thinking, justify design choices, and validate their solution with evidence. Only the most robust, wellengineered, and high potential solutions will move forward to the final presentation round.

Round 2: The Deep Dive – Detailed Technical Solutioning

In Round 2, teams move from concept to concrete design. This phase requires a thorough walkthrough of the solution architecture, technical components, data strategy, LLM workflow, agentic capabilities, and implementation plan.

Mentors will help clarify use-case objectives, ensure teams stay aligned, and address non-technical queries. They will not contribute to technical solutioning or development but purely support direction and understanding.

Round 3: Leadership Round – Final Presentation to Executive Leaders

In Round 3, finalist teams present their complete solution to a panel of executive leaders and industry experts. This round evaluates not only technical excellence but also storytelling, business impact, scalability, user experience, and realworld applicability. Teams will showcase their end-to-end solution, demo key features, and articulate the value their innovation delivers. This is their moment to inspire leaders with vision, clarity, and confidence. The best-performing teams will stand out through their ability to combine technology, design, and business thinking, recognition, prizes, and opportunities to engage further with industry professionals.
