The largest issue-oriented hackathon in central Taiwan, Tunghai University “2025 Future Issues Hackathon,” ended successfully on June 4, 2017. There were 20 teams of approximately 100 participants in total. Team “Join A Leg” and “Z Machine” respectively received first and second places with their unique and innovative ideas. The two teams were granted the “Future Funds” as their startup funding.
Deputy Mayor of Taichung City Ms. Yi-Ying Lin and Commissioner Yao-Chih Lu of the Economic Development Bureau of Taichung City attended the final presentation session, listening to the participating teams pitching their ideas. Deputy Mayor Lin acknowledged that the event demonstrated the creativity and diversity of young students’ innovative thinking. She further pointed out that this momentum should step out of the zone of higher education, involving also the local high-schoolers to experience the creative spirit. Commissioner Lu was glad to see how collaborative it was between the industry and the campus. He promised that the Economic Development Bureau would not only support, but also help to match and guide the collaboration process.

The first-place project was “Join A Leg.” The “Join A Leg” team aimed to solve the supply-demand instability in the agricultural supply chain. They built a platform to serve as a bridge between local farmers, restaurants, and families. On the platform, restaurants and families could purchase grocery directly from farmers or start a collaboration where farmers produce on-demand, fresh products. This business model should solve the current problem of overproduction and the consequential price-drop of certain crops and products while satisfying the needs of customization of restaurants and families.

The second-place project, “Z Machine,” incorporated a delicate design of human-interactive lighting into a large machine. In addition to “Join A Leg” and “Z Machine,” there were five other projects which received the Outstanding Award: Travel Light, E-Fiction Sports Energy Preservation Device, Light-Up, Waitor No-Queue Buses, and Dream Gamble.
The 2025 Future Issue Hackathon is the second phase of Tunghai University’s series of innovation events. The third phase will be activated in July through September this year.
