Hacktivator
A taste of the entrepreneurial journey through rapid innovation challenges
A taste of the entrepreneurial journey through rapid innovation challenges
Hacktivator takes the programs of RMIT Activator’s and applies them to the Vietnam audience, so you get a streamlined challenge combining different learning activities.
We aim to foster a healthy, competitive structure by bringing in real-time industry connection and challenges to our experiences. Think of Hacktivator as a way to see what could become of a life long entrepreneurial journey, by solving problems that matter.
The duration of our program focuses on cultivating different entrepreneurial mindsets and skillsets in participants such as:
Understanding the WHY is key before figuring out the HOW. Outline your desired goals and vision and identify your needs to develop your venture successfully.
Explore different solutions to design challenges or identified opportunities, evaluate and choose suitable ideas to move forward.
Build the solution and put it in front of users to capture feedback, test your assumptions and learn more about an idea or concept. This includes producing a scaled-down version of the product or service and then testing it.
Engage listeners on a whole new level through Impactful storytelling. Communicate your solution proposal effectively and attractively, its impact, and how they align with your product/services.
Read about the 2021 Circular Campus Programme run by Circular Cities Asia, where RMIT students and alumni were given the opportunity to test and implement their circular ideas and reduce waste on their own campuses. Hacktivator uses similar ideation and pitching processes.

Hacktivator will run in line with the current COVID-19 restrictions. At the time of writing, restrictions have been lifted and face-to-face sessions are allowed. Your course coordinator will confirm this with you prior to you starting.
No! Hacktivator is all about finding the founder in you – which can happen without a business idea to start with. A good first step is to find something you are passionate about and we’ll go from there. On our early sessions, we’ll dive deep into the problem space and figure out a problem worth solving and what does that look like. However, the program also works if you have an existing startup, side hustle or just a few ideas you want to explore further.
RMIT Activator does not take any stake in your IP and we wish to not be involved in any IP ownership-related issues. The knowledge we share on this program is the University’s way of supporting the wider community with no strings attached. However, if you are a staff member and/or looking to translate your research, we strongly encourage you to contact IP & Commercialisation to settle things early.
