The Mentors

The Jury

Should you apply?

We are looking for thinkers, hackers, marketeers, creatives, visionaries with an entrepreneurial spark... if you can relate, then you're it! Whether you are a student or working a full-time job doesn’t matter. We like you for your brain, passion and skills, not your title.

So, are you a:

• Hacker (Developer)
• Hipster (Designer)
• Hustler (Marketing/Sales)

Though it is an advantage, you don't need to have a confirmed idea prior to the event. The hackathon will start with an ideation phase where you will be able to form your ideas in collaboration with the other hackers.

What's in it for you?

Hands-on startup experience

The QST hackathon is a unique chance to test your skills and get hands-on experience with some of the most pressing challenges in the world of Sports. The event will provide you with the perfect setting to match with like-minded individuals and form a team for your startup. During the 48 hours of the event, you will receive feedback and mentoring from top-tier industry experts and entrepreneurs.

If your business idea shines through, you will get the chance to continue your entrepreneurial journey in one of the following ways:

One-month internship

If your mind is sharp and you can hustle with the best, then your journey doesn’t stop with the hackathon. Learn from the best entrepreneurs in SportsTech through a one-month internship in one of the 10 QST startups or with one of our partners.

Golden Ticket

If your idea blows our mind, then we want to see you succeed with it. Get the chance to join one of our global startup accelerator programs through Pearls of Qatar (this is only applicable for teams with active Qatari members).

Winners will also receive a commemorative gift by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy.
