AI Hackathon Festival 2025
Event description
We're hosting the AI Hackathon 2025 across Aotearoa. Join us and solve real-world problems.
With only 5 years left to achieve the 2030 SDGs and 84% of targets off-track, the AI Hackathon brings together diverse minds to create technological solutions for our most pressing global challenges. You'll learn new skills, create connections, make an impact and network with mentors in our safe space to play and promote AI for Good.
Each hackathon team will pitch their solution to a judging panel and regional winners will be announced. Our national judging panel will then select 4 finalists to pitch their idea at the 2025 Aotearoa AI Summit, 18 September in Auckland, where the audience votes for the national winner.
