Q&A

What is a Hackathon?
A hackathon is a focused, time-bound event where teams collaborate to develop innovative initiatives/ projects to a given challenge, combining creativity, technology, and strategy to turn ideas into impactful prototypes or concepts.
The hackathon will take place on February 25 2026, as a hybrid event across all Lumenis sites worldwide. Teams will work during a full workday, with local and global support throughout.

Idea submission is open until December 22, 2025.

All Lumenis employees, from all departments, sites, and roles are welcome to join!
No technical background is required.
There are a few ways to get involved:
1. Submit an idea – on your own or as a group. If your idea is selected, you’ll build a team around it (unless you already have an existing one).
2. Join a team – even if you don’t have an idea of your own, you can still participate! After the idea selection phase, we’ll help match participants to teams based on interest and skillset.

Whether you’re a visionary with a plan or just eager to contribute, there’s a place for you in the hackathon. You’ll also receive guidance and resources along the way.
Not at all! While technical expertise can be helpful, it’s not required. You can contribute with strategic thinking, business insight, creative problem-solving, customer knowledge, or any other superpower. Diverse teams are encouraged!
At the end of the Hackathon, each team will be required to submit a 4-minute recorded presentation that includes:

Business Case – Problem definition, impact assessment, implementation pathway

Technical Feasibility – Resource requirements, technology stack, complexity analysis

Mock-up/Proof of Concept – Functional demonstration or detailed visual prototype

Supporting Data – Quantitative impact analysis to validate the potential impact

Anything that uses AI to improve how we work, serve our customers, or grow our business. This can include:

• New AI-enabled products or service features

• Internal process optimization

• Enhanced post-sale customer experience

• Smarter commercial strategies (pricing, marketing, forecasting, etc.)

Submitted ideas will go through a professional screening process. The strongest proposals will move on to the hackathon phase, where teams will be formed around them.

Yes. Teams should consist of 4–6 people. You can join with colleagues or be matched with others after the idea screening phase.

Hackathon results will be judged based on:

• Business Impact (50%)

• Feasibility of Implementation (30%)

• Innovation & Creativity (20%)

You’ll have access to:

• AI tools like Microsoft Copilot and pre-approved platforms

• Mentors from inside and outside Lumenis for business and tech guidance

• Synthetic data for testing concepts

• A dedicated Microsoft Teams environment for collaboration

Just your ideas, your energy, and your laptop! Access to AI tools, mentors, and resources will be provided.
