We are looking for impact-driven changemakers for a two-day hackathon on sustainability & AI. Are you one of them?

Are you an ambitious student or young professional between the ages of 18 and 30? Then this Green Business Challenge is for you! Together, we will tackle one of the biggest questions of our time: How can artificial intelligence and sustainability work together to create a better future?

AI is rapidly changing how we work and live. But how can we ensure that AI is used in a sustainable, responsible, and impactful way?

What can you expect from this two-day hackathon?

During this energetic two-day hackathon, more than 30 young professionals will come together to work on real business cases, exchange fresh ideas, and gain new insights. All in a fun, hands-on setting.

You will take on the role of startup founder and develop a concept that combines AI, sustainability, and social impact.

Why participate?

- Develop bold ideas at the intersection of AI and sustainability.

- Validate concepts and challenge assumptions.

- Build a scalable business model.

- Pitch your solution with impact.

The Sustainability for AI Hackathon is conducted entirely in English and is free to participate in.

What are the requirements?

- You are an ambitious student or young professional aged 18–30.
- You have been living in the Netherlands for at least four months.

Regardless of your background, if you are passionate about sustainability and innovation, you should apply! Registration closes around February 13, so don't wait too long.
