TechTriad Hackathon
Introduction
The TechTriad Hackathon is a 36-hour challenge aimed at streamlining
the Request for Quotation (RFQ) process in heavy industries such as
oil, steel, and cement. Participants will develop website to automate
various stages of the RFQ workflow—from generating RFQs to tracking
vendor responses. This event focuses on creating real-world digital
tools to optimize procurement workflows and the tendering process.
