Toshiba Invites Innovators to Shape the Future of IoT
at GridDB Cloud IoT Hackathon

Toshiba is organizing the hackathon to promote the capabilities of GridDB^® Cloud, which became available worldwide in April this year. GridDB^® Cloud serves as a core data infrastructure for digital transformation, enabling organizations to collect and analyze large volumes of data, uncover valuable insights, and drive new business initiatives. Rapid data ingestion, low-latency querying, and robust reliability make it a stand-out into supporting real-time analytics and mission-critical operations across industries.

Hackathon participants will have the opportunity to develop and prototype IoT solutions that address real-world challenges in areas as diverse as smart manufacturing, energy, mobility, and healthcare. The top five teams will be selected as finalists from a pool of online submissions. Once selected, they will receive direct technical support and mentorship from GridDB^® engineers during the onsite event, helping them deepen their expertise in time-series data management and cloud-native development. Finalists will present their proofs-of-concept to a panel of judges, with outstanding projects eligible for additional support and recognition.

Throughout the hackathon, participants can get hands-on experience with the latest IoT technologies, connect with fellow innovators, and receive valuable feedback. The event offers a unique chance to grow technical skills, expand professional networks, and make a meaningful impact in the IoT field.
