Geneva Hackathon

About the event

Join forces to hack AI for good: 3 days tackling real challenges across workforce, health, energy, finance, and education, alongside humanitarian experts, sustainability leaders, AI engineers, business innovators, and beyond.

We are back with the 2nd edition of the Geneva AI Hackathon across several tracks, including humanitarian action, mental health, and open source hardware solutions. Interdisciplinary teams build working AI prototypes alongside challenger organizations.

• Real challenges across humanitarian, health, and sustainability tracks
• Open to all skill levels and backgrounds
• Strong focus on trustworthy, ethical and open AI
• Hosted in the heart of International Geneva where UN, international organization, and diplomacy meet

Details and agenda

Day 1: Team Formation. Show up without a fixed team or project; both come together on-site. The evening is spent forming teams and working through Challenge Framing with the partner organization behind each track, so you leave day one with a defined problem and a first rough idea. Coaches and technical experts are available throughout all three days for hands-on support, so you're never stuck without someone to ask.

Day 2: Core Build Day. Prototyping, testing, and iterating, with a couple of short peer pitch check-ins built in so you get feedback before you've gone too far down the wrong path. Optional workshops on value proposition design and pitching are available if you want the extra structure.

Day 3: Showdown. Final polish of the prototype, then pitches to a jury and an award ceremony early afternoon.
