AI Forum NZ | AI for the Environment Hackathon 2023

The AI for the Environment Hackathon Festival is back for another year. Taking place across four initial locations, with more to be announced in the coming weeks.

This year our problems to solve are based on the five key environmental outcomes (AI for the Environment Report 2022). We have expanded these to make them more relevant to all participants in 2023.

Participants will learn many new skills, meet like-minded peers, and network with sponsors and mentors. At the end of the hackathon teams will demonstrate their project in front of a judging panel who select the winner. The best four winners have a chance to pitch their idea at the AI Summit 23. 

Register yourself and your team, and select your venue.
