The Most Exciting Web3 & AI Hackathon in Central Europe is Going to Leuven, Belgium
Leuven, Belgium — November 2025 — After the tremendous success of WAIB Summit Monaco 2025, where over 2,000 Web3 and AI enthusiasts gathered in June to celebrate innovation and the future of decentralized technology, WAIB Summit is now heading to Leuven, Belgium for its next groundbreaking event — the Web3 & AI Hackathon.
Co-organized with Imperial Blockchain & FinTech and KU Leuven, this three-day hackathon will bring together students, developers, entrepreneurs, and top researchers from across Europe and beyond to build, collaborate, and create the next wave of AI and Web3 breakthroughs.
A Historic and Academic Hub for Innovation
The hackathon takes place in Leuven, one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious university cities, and home to KU Leuven’s world-renowned cryptography research group, COSIC (Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography). The presence of COSIC situates the event in a cutting-edge academic environment, bridging centuries of intellectual tradition with modern research in cryptography, cybersecurity, and decentralized systems.
Who Can Join
This hackathon isn’t just for developers. Whether you’re a coder, designer, marketer, student, or visionary, there’s a track for you — including prompt-only challenges designed for creative talents with no coding experience.
Why You Can’t Miss It
Participants will have the opportunity to learn and build through expert-led workshops and hands-on sessions exploring the latest AI and Web3 technologies. It’s a place to network and grow, connecting directly with leading companies, mentors, and innovators ready to inspire and collaborate. Most importantly, this is your chance to compete and shine — to win prizes, gain global recognition, and turn groundbreaking ideas into reality.
