OPEN GATEWAY HACKATHON

are you ready TO BUILD THE FUTURE WITH AGENTIC AI AND NETWORK APIs?

APPLY BY FEBRUARY 22, 2026. SPOTS ARE LIMITED! 

 

Imagine an AI agent that doesn’t just respond — it acts. An autonomous system that detects fraud in real-time, reroutes data for ultra-low latency, verifies user identity without friction, or even guides a remote vehicle through crowded streets — all powered by live 5G network intelligence. 

That future isn’t years away. You can build it in two days. 

The Open Gateway Hackathon challenges you to fuse cutting-edge agentic AI with standardized CAMARA Network APIs through Nokia’s Network as Code platform. Create intelligent, proactive applications that make decisions, take actions, and adapt autonomously — backed by the real-time data and superior connectivity that only telecom networks can provide. 

Available APIs will supercharge your agentic AI, including: 

  • Quality on Demand (QoD) – Giving your AI ultra-reliable, low-latency bandwidth exactly when it needs it 
  • Number Verification & KYC – Letting your agent instantly and securely confirm user identity 
  • SIM Swap & Device Swap – Enabling proactive fraud detection and instant alerts 
  • Location Verification  – Powering context-aware decisions and smart routing 
  • Device Status – Letting agents react to connectivity changes in real time 

 Your projects will run on a live 5G network — real conditions, real impact. 

Inspiration ideas (with agentic AI twist): 
  • Autonomous Remote Driving – An AI agent that dynamically requests QoD, verifies driver identity, monitors device status, and adjusts routes based on real-time population density 
  • Proactive Financial Security – An agent that monitors for SIM swaps, instantly verifies transactions, and blocks fraud before it happens
