Agentic Society

hackathon 11 and 12 April 2026

We are entering an era where autonomous agents act, transact and coordinate across products and markets. Agentic society brings together builders, founders and researchers at LSE to explore the opportunities and risks of the agentic economy.

LSE innovation in partnership with HEDERA bring you together for 24 hours of problem solving.

What to expect: 

During the day:

Panel discussions with industry experts on agentic payments and the agentic economy. 

Topics include :

What full system agents like OpenClaw mean for trust, UX, and monetisation and the rise of apps built primarily for AI agent audiences, including what that implies for payments, commissions and revenue capture. 

Overnight hackathon:

After the panels stay to build. Form teams, scope your idea, and build a working prototype overnight at LSE. The best projects earn a direct path into Hedera's incubator with mentorship and funding pathways. 

Prize pool is approximately $10,000
