AI4Good Hackathon - Two Days. One Goal. Building for Nonprofits.
AI for Good Hackathon – Africa Edition
NamibAI × TUM Social AI Club × TUM.ai
📅 June 27–28, 2026 | TUM Munich
🕘 Start: Saturday, 9:00 AM · End: Sunday, ~4:00 PM
What awaits you
At Munich's first and largest AI for Good Hackathon, you won't be solving theoretical case studies, but real-world challenges faced by internationally active non-profits working across Africa. Over one weekend, you and your interdisciplinary team will develop a concept with impact that goes far beyond the hackathon itself, across areas like migration & refugee support, animal protection, development work, and better education in developing countries.
The ideas of the best teams will be implemented and flow directly into the daily work of the non-profits. As a winner, you will also be invited to an exclusive follow-up event.
No prior experience required. You will get exclusive, free access to the latest AI tools from our partners: models and APIs from OpenAI, and AWS infrastructure, and the app-building platform Lovable, allowing you to turn your ideas into reality in no time.
Speakers include
Dr. Fabian Mehring, Bavarian Minister of Digital Affairs

Daniel Togun, Senior Privacy Engineer, Google
Matt Bender, AI Consultant, World Food Programme
