Al-Khidmat Foundation Pakistan has completed preparations for the grand finale of its AI Hackathon Pakistan 2026, staged in partnership with Alibaba Cloud. The foundation launched the competition after registering a clear rise in young people's interest and creative ability in information technology and artificial intelligence. Teams that survived the earlier rounds will now meet in the final to show what they have built. Working with Alibaba Cloud connects the contestants to tools and expertise from one of the world's biggest technology firms. Foundation representatives describe the hackathon as a way to turn that youthful enthusiasm into practical, usable skills. The final is likely to draw attention from Pakistan's tech community and beyond. With preparations done, only the contest itself remains.
