Presenting: Databusters 2026
500+ participants. 130 teams. One powerful idea - that data shapes real economic decisions.
Databusters 2026 marked the first-ever inter-school datathon, and stands as a flagship initiative of the NTU ECDS Sub-club, in collaboration with the NUS DSE Student Committee.
More than a competition, Databustersis a platform where economic theory meets real-world data. Participants were challenged to think deeper, analyse sharper, and solve smarter - transforming datasets into meaningful economic insights.
