Industrial AI hackathon

by Swenode.AI

In person
When
Tuesday 25 August 2026
Where
Malmö · Malmö

50 builders, one day, three tracks: Resilience, Security, and Physical AI.

Build on real challenges from Saab, LKAB, Boliden, Zenseact, FT Technologies, NCC, and Aixia.

The task? To build a working prototype solving their problems. If you're successful, you get not only to pitch it to a jury, but even the opportunity to show your solution to the industry companies' management teams.

The hackathon will also be visited by a surprise guest from Silicon Valley.

This is a perfect opportunity to accelerate your knowledge within industrial AI, meet your next employer or collaborator, or get a glimpse of where industrial AI is headed in the Nordics.

Also, if accepted, you'll get a discount code for TechBBQ from our partner Nebius.
