About Global AI Hackathon
- The first Global AI Hackathon is taking place in 15 cities worldwide from June 23-25, 2017, attracting design-thinkers, developers, programmers, marketers and other related experts to come together for 48 hours.
- Challenges will be announced globally during the kick off of the event, and attendees can pick one of the challenges to work on either by themselves or with a team. After two days of hacking and prototyping, teams have the option to showcase their projects on stage. Your local audience will pick three winners, one for each challenge, prizes TBD.
- The current Global AI Hackathon is co-sponsored by NEC and Microsoft.
Why Toronto?
- The recent pan-Canadian artificial intelligence strategy launched by the federal government has added $125 million into R&D efforts. We know the opportunities are here and we need the right people to get on board.
