From problem to prototype in a weekend: Whether you’re bringing your own idea or want to work as part of a team to solve other people’s challenges, use state-of-the-art AI tools to build working prototypes in record time.

From problem to AI prototype in 48 hours!

Want to do more than just talk about AI – want to use it to build real products? The Leuphana AI Hackathon is your chance.

What to expect:

  • Ideas and pitching: Bring your own ideas or join a team on Friday evening to work together on finding a solution to a relevant problem.
  • Vibe-Coding & Prototyping: Experience how AI tools (e.g. Lovable) make it possible to create working product versions over a weekend without in-depth programming knowledge.
  • Expert Mentoring: Experienced founders and tech experts will support you with technical implementation and business model development.
  • Final Pitch: Present your prototype on Sunday to a high-calibre jury
     

Learn from the best. Our jury and mentors cover a wide range of fields:

  • Technical Experts: AI specialists and software architects
  • Business Mentors: Experienced founders and CEOs who will help you make your idea viable
  • Jury: Experts from academia, business and the investment sector
