Welcome to the AI Grid Hackathon

Our Hackathon features three distinct tracks for you to choose from. Whether you’re interested in prompt engineering, time series forecasting, or computer vision, there’s something for everyone. You can focus on one track or challenge yourself by participating in multiple ones. Join us to innovate, collaborate, and make a real impact!

Each track presents challenges provided by AI Grid and its participating partners—DVZ, Fraunhofer ISE, and the Tourismusverband Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. These organizations offer you the unique opportunity to develop AI solutions using real-world data from their respective industries. As the organizer, AI Grid fosters a collaborative environment where your innovative solutions can make a tangible difference for these partners and contribute to real-world advancements.
