Fetch.ai (@Fetch_ai): Virtual EV Challenge, a student competition focused on electric mobility through simulated EV races, has officially come to an end.

Virtual EV Challenge, a student competition focused on electric mobility through simulated EV races, has officially come to an end. Together with our long-standing partners @BoschGlobal and @IPG_Automotive, we brought the India’s leading EV simulation hackathon. This year, over 70 student teams from top institutions took on the challenge of designing smarter, more sustainable charging and mobility systems. As the official agentic technology partner, we have provided the @Fetch_ai's agent-based framework that bridged the gap between simulation and the real world, enabling vehicles and infrastructure to coordinate and optimize simultaneously. Here are the top projects, putting agentic AI into practice 👇 > 1st Place: EPD-12 Himanshu Singh, Hasan Iqbal Khan and Aditya K Tiwari from Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. > 2nd Place: MTR Shrihari Acharya, S Thrupthesh Kumar, Vikas M, and Lloyd Moras from Mangalore Institute of Technology And Engineering , Karnataka India. > 3rd Place: CEG Motor Sports GuruPrasad N, Hirditya S, DonaJayasri S K and Iniyan Balaji V S from College Of Engineering Guindy, Tamil Nadu India. Special thank you to Mr Mathias Fischer and Mr Urlich for bringing this challenge to life, and thank you to our Director of Business Development @MariaMinaricova, for presenting the awards on behalf of https://t.co/jQHISjPvoi. This year’s challenge has set the stage for a new era of decentralized, intelligent mobility. We'll be back with more opportunities like this - watch this space.
