Hong Leong Bank Hackathon 2022: UniVRse Takes Third Place
UniVRse earned third place at the HLB Can You Hack It 2022 — Metaverse Edition, a two-day competitive event hosted at Hong Leong Bank Tower in Bukit Damansara that attracted 40 teams from across Malaysia's technology sector. The achievement reflects both our technical capability and our commitment to pushing boundaries in immersive digital experience.
A Platform for Innovation
The hackathon created a competitive and collaborative environment focused on innovation and problem-solving, with participants from diverse technical and creative backgrounds. Mentorship sessions throughout the event helped teams sharpen their project concepts and refine their technical direction — an invaluable complement to the competition itself.
Learning and Connecting
Beyond the competition, the event offered practical insights into industry expectations, emerging metaverse trends, and startup development strategies. For UniVRse, it was also a meaningful opportunity to expand our network within Malaysia's technology ecosystem — connecting with mentors, peers, and potential collaborators who share our vision for the metaverse.
Gratitude and What's Next
We are grateful to Hong Leong Bank for organising an event of this quality, and to the mentors, organisers, and fellow participants who made it genuinely rewarding. Third place in a 40-team field is a milestone — but it is also a starting point. The drive to innovate that brought us to this competition is the same drive that powers everything we build at UniVRse.
