Bangalore and Silicon Valley are set to simultaneously host their first joint hackathon, which will see over 200 developers working together to create new collaboration applications.

The two-day hack fest that links Silicon Valley and Bangalore is aimed at creating a new generation of open and innovative collaboration tools.

According to the Enterprise Innovation, these tolls will be built over new open APIs (application programming interface), including WebRTC.

Tata Communications announced it would sponsor the 'Future of Collaboration' hackathon by providing 75,000 dollars in cash and prizes.

Tata said that by crowd sourcing the best minds across California and India, the hackathon provides a gateway to rapidly develop, prototype and innovate applications using new web standards to address everyday collaboration challenges, the report added.
