ConsulTech 2026

About the Challenge

ConsulTech 2026 (180 Degrees Consulting × GDG UTM) is a week-long hackathon × case competition where students collaborate to solve real challenges from nonprofit partners. You will work with real constraints and real objectives to build solutions that are practical, clear, and implementable.

Teams deliver two things:

• A strategic case presentation
• A technical prototype that supports the strategy
