The IEEE AgeTech Global Dataset Competition 2026 is a global initiative designed to accelerate the development of high-quality datasets that can drive innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) for healthy longevity.
While advances in AI have transformed many sectors, progress in AgeTech remains constrained by the limited availability of openly accessible, well-documented, representative, and ethically governed datasets. The competition addresses this challenge by encouraging the creation and publication of datasets that support research, benchmarking, reproducibility, and real-world deployment of AI systems for aging populations.
The competition is organized by IEEE AgeTech in collaboration with IEEE DataPort and IEEE Young Professionals, bringing together researchers, healthcare professionals, engineers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and students from around the world.
Contest opens: 10 June 2026
Submission deadline: 30 September 2026
