DESCRIPTION:The Grand Finale of CodeSprint 8\, held on the 22nd of June at 
 the Galadari Hotel in Colombo\, was a grand celebration of innovation and 
 entrepreneurship.\n\nOriginally conceived as an inter-university idea incu
 bator\, CodeSprint has evolved over the years into a formidable startup ba
 ttle. This year&#39;s event which served as the 8th iteration\, witnessed part
 icipation from over 525 teams\, representing 2500 undergraduates from 20 p
 rivate and state universities across Sri Lanka. Over six months\, particip
 ants and the organizing committee worked tirelessly and effortlessly to br
 ing CodeSprint 8 into a reality.\n\nThe theme of CodeSprint 8\, &quot;Elevating

 tion of innovative startup ideas. Participants were not only able to prese
 nt their startup ideas but also received support in implementing their con
 cepts\, making the experience both practical and beneficial. CodeSprint 8 
 comprised of three phases: IDEATE\, PROTOTYPE\, and STARTUP.\n\nThe event 
 was reinforced by the invaluable support of 27 company partners\, which se
 rved as the backbone of CodeSprint 8.\n\nEach phase was supported by works
 hops held in both virtual and physical formats. Teams presenting their tec
 hnical pitches were mentored by a panel of mentors\, helping them refine a
 nd develop their projects. The top 10 finalists emerged from this rigorous
  process to compete in the Grand Finale.\n\nThe distinguished panel of jud
