🧠 The Context

Artificial intelligence is transforming how we solve complex problems—but some of the biggest opportunities aren’t inside companies. They’re in our cities.

Communities face increasingly complex challenges around infrastructure, sustainability, transportation, healthcare, environmental protection, and public services. AI gives us new ways to analyze information, automate processes, and build tools that help governments, nonprofits, and communities make better decisions.

This hackathon is an opportunity to prototype practical solutions with the people who understand these challenges best.

The goal isn’t simply to build demos—it’s to explore ideas that could improve the lives of millions of people across Nuevo León.
