TALLINN – Hackathon “Youth x Entrepreneurs”

Hackathon “Youth x Entrepreneurs”

The labour market is changing permanently. Companies need new roles, skills and ways of collaborating to truly benefit from artificial intelligence. Are you ready?

Join us on 21–22 November for a hackathon where we’ll build practical AI tools together to help companies gain a competitive edge, automate routine tasks and make work processes more efficient. We’ll bring young people and entrepreneurs together to learn from one another and develop ideas.

Who is it for?
We welcome young people, students, developers, designers, AI enthusiasts, companies and entrepreneurs—anyone interested in creating AI solutions and putting them to use in real life. You don’t need to have an idea, a team or previous experience. We’ll provide all the skills and tools you’ll need for the weekend.

The hackathon challenges will be set by Estonian employers. We’ll add more challenges as we go! If you already have a team and a project idea, let us know when you register.

By the end of the hackathon, teams will have developed practical solution concepts and demos to present to the jury.
