Honeywell Aerospace yesterday announced the successful completion of its 2025 AI Hackathon in Fiji, reinforcing the company’s commitment to scalable global innovation, applied artificial intelligence and strategic talent development across emerging technology hubs.
The multi-day hackathon convened Fijian software engineers, data scientists, and early-career technologists to address real-world aerospace AI challenges.
“Participants worked on use cases spanning predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and data-driven decision support — solutions aligned with Honeywell’s broader digital transformation and connected enterprise strategy,” the company said in a statement.
“Honeywell Aerospace team provided solution mentoring, agile delivery practices, and engineering rigor — helping ensure hackathon outputs reflected enterprise-ready standards and real-world applicability.”
The event was delivered in collaboration with Pacific Technologies Ltd, a leading Fijian innovation firm specialising in secure banking and enterprise digital solutions.
It also showcased the advantages of Fiji as a digital delivery location, including an English-speaking STEM talent pool, competitive operating costs and strong collaboration across industry and education, according to the company.
“Honeywell leaders noted that the Fiji AI Hackathon serves as a repeatable model for future innovation programs — pairing enterprise-scale challenges with regional talent and trusted global partners. Discussions are already underway to expand hackathons, structured AI training programs, and introducing longer-term digital models in Elementary and Secondary school curriculums,” the company stated.
Honeywell was also supported by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a long-standing Honeywell partner and global leader in IT services, consulting and digital transformation.
TCS contributed expertise in scalable platforms, data security and mission-critical system design.
