For one weekend, ambitious engineers, researchers, founders, designers, and product builders come together to build real AI solutions around real-world company and ecosystem challenges.

This is not a conference. This is not a networking event. This is not a slide-deck competition.

It is a weekend for people who build.

The ecosystem around Since AI connects builders with leading technology companies, international enterprises, venture capital firms, AI research groups, and frontier computing infrastructure.

Ecosystem signals include Google, AMD, LUMI supercomputer, ElevenLabs, Aiven, Lovable, n8n, Featherless.ai, international companies, venture capital firms, and leading AI research groups.

Teams of up to five will work on carefully scoped AI challenges and deliver working demos, technical concepts, and practical continuation paths.

The strongest outcomes can lead to pilots, collaboration, hiring conversations, or new startups.

Who should apply

AI engineers. ML engineers. Software engineers. Researchers. Technical founders. Product-minded builders. Designers who can ship. Ambitious students and early-career professionals.

You do not need to come from a famous university or company.

But you do need to be serious about building.
