Produced by The Garage, the Microsoft Global Hackathon is the largest private hackathon on the planet. Since its launch in 2014, it has grown into a company-wide, multi-day event that empowers employees, interns, and invited guests to innovate across disciplines, roles, and geographies. With over 73,000+ participants this year and thousands of projects annually, the Hackathon fosters a culture of experimentation, inclusion, and bold thinking. This year’s Global Hackathon took place during the week of September 15 and was more than just a coding event — it was a global celebration of creativity, collaboration, and community. Almost one hundred MVPs and RDs joined forces with employees and innovators from around the world to tackle challenges that matter — from reimagining customer support to shaping the future of AI. Global Collaboration — Local Impact MVPs and RDs from every corner of the globe participated virtually, forming diverse, cross-functional teams that reflected the depth and breadth of Microsoft’s global community. Whether launching new ideas or joining existing projects, these community leaders brought fresh perspectives, deep technical expertise, and a passion for impact. “We’re thrilled to see MVPs and RDs driving meaningful collaboration across Microsoft. Their energy and expertise elevate the Hackathon experience for everyone involved.” — Alice Piras, Microsoft MVP Program Engagement Lead. Innovation in Action MVP- and RD-led or supported projects spanned a wide range of themes — each aligned with real-world challenges. Some were even recognized with awards for their ingenuity and impact. Here are just a few general examples: Customer Service Innovation: Projects explored how AI agents could assist customer support teams by retrieving information, managing documents, and streamlining workflows. Financial Services Transformation: Hackathon teams developed solutions to simplify complex processes like insurance claims and policy management using intelligent automation. Security & Compliance: Participants experimented with proactive security assessments and AI-powered frameworks to help organizations strengthen their digital posture. Sustainability & IoT: Several teams focused on environmental optimization, using data and AI analytics to improve system performance in areas like aquaponics and smart farming. Digital Identity & Inclusion: Community-led projects addressed secure onboarding and compliance challenges, with a focus on accessibility and user experience. These projects exemplify not only technical excellence but also a commitment to inclusive innovation and community-driven problem solving. Voices from the Community “Hackathon wasn’t just about building, but about creating something that could make an impact — and agentic retrieval made that possible for us.” — Shrushti Shah, MVP “It was an incredible experience collaborating with three MVPs from across the globe on a shared mission for this Hackathon. We didn’t just work together — we learned together, exchanging diverse perspectives to create something amazing in just three days.” — Maya Stewart, Microsoft, Sr. Product Manager "My Global Hackathon experience this year was nothing short of amazing! I decided to work on two projects: one where I made major contributions to an open-source project I’ve long been interested in — and another where I saw firsthand how GitHub Copilot excels at boosting productivity. Overall, I’m still energized after the Hackathon and deeply appreciate the collaborative spirit of working with fellow MVPs and Microsoft employees to achieve shared goals." — Jeremy Sinclair, MVP “It was inspiring to see how diverse backgrounds and ideas came together to build something meaningful. The culture of openness and support made this Hackathon one of the best experiences I’ve had.” — Thomas Schissler, MVP “The Garage Hackathon team engaged with the MVP/RD team again this year to invite Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals and Regional Directors to participate as hackers and advisors in the global event. The industry experts and influencers brought their knowledge and insights about Microsoft products — adding value to hacking teams from across the company.” — Susie Kandzor, Microsoft, Sr. Director of Hacking. Building Bridges Across Microsoft Beyond the code, the Hackathon was a powerful networking catalyst. MVPs and RDs expanded their circles of collaborators, mentors, and speakers — building bridges across product groups, engineering teams, and regional communities. “I’m incredibly grateful to our MVPs and RDs for their energy and contributions during this year’s Hackathon. Their technical depth and collaborative spirit made a real impact — and I’m excited to see how we can make next year’s experience even bigger and better.” — Justin Garrett, Microsoft, MVP Program Principal Program Manager.
