Prize pool — up to $40,000: Digital Future and Projector Institute launch AI hackathon. How to become a participant?

The demand for professionals with practical experience in creating AI products continues to grow, but opportunities to gain such experience in real product environments are still limited in the market. That is why the hackathon is aimed at product, technical and AI professionals at the middle+ and senior levels who want to work on AI solutions and
test your ideas in practice.

What awaits the participants?

The event will be held in an online format, allowing teams from anywhere in Ukraine and Europe to join. The hackathon will end with a final pitch of products to a jury.

In addition to the main program for participants, the organizers will hold an open live stream for a wider audience. The program includes discussions on the development of AI products, practical insights from industry experts, open vibe coding sessions, and communication with invited guests of the event.

Hackathon participants will compete for a total prize pool of up to $40,000 to develop their products. Depending on the results, teams will be able to receive from $5,000 to $25,000 from Digital Future, as well as:

• lectures from invited specialists from the product and AI industry;
• mentoring support from the fund team, as well as from top industry specialists — including Oleksiy Grishko, Product Owner at Silpo, Yuriy Obach, Ex-Head of Product at Kiss My Apps, and others;
• access to professional tools for product development;
  studying at the Projector Institute;
• the opportunity to join the product companies of the Qollabe ecosystem.

For teams whose products show development potential, Digital Future will consider further collaboration after the hackathon is over.
