Green & AI Hackathon

Challenge AI. Challenge yourself. Change the future.

Join ESCP London's First Annual Green / AI Hackathon for a fast-paced day of entrepreneurship, innovation and problem-solving.

You’ll work with other students to turn emerging challenges into exciting new venture ideas using AI responsibly. Working in multidisciplinary teams, you’ll identify a real-world problem, develop a sustainable entrepreneurial solution, and explore what it takes to transform an idea into a viable and scalable business.

You’ll hear directly from investors and entrepreneurs about the startup and investment landscape, what makes a new venture stand out, and what investors look for when deciding which ideas to back. A dedicated Responsible AI Workshop will help you consider the wider implications of the solutions you create, while experienced mentors will challenge and support your thinking throughout the day.

The Hackathon culminates in a pitch to a panel of judges, giving you the chance to put your idea—and your entrepreneurial skills—to the test. No technical background is required: just bring your curiosity, creativity and ambition to build something that matters.
