AI as a catalyst for learning, innovation, & entrepreneurship.
The aim of the ICC is to support projects demonstrating strong societal and economic potential in the fields of Human-AI Teaming, sustainable and resilient societies, AI for life and AI for all. You don't need to be an expert in coding; diverse profiles (technical, design, business) are welcome.
For start-ups and SMEs in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, this hackathon represents a unique opportunity to innovate and co-build AI prototypes, benefiting from Idiap's expertise and thus rapidly validating the viability of digital solutions. It's also an opportunity to benefit from personalized support (mentoring, legal workshops, pitch preparation), while perhaps having the chance to become the next winner of the CHF 50,000 "Leap Forward Prize".
