Oxford Applied AI Hackathon
Could you build an AI solution to a real industry problem in a single day?
What it is
Join OX1 Incubator, Hack-Nation and Aurametis Partners for a full-day hackathon focused on building AI applications for specific industries.
Working in teams, you’ll identify a real industry problem, pressure-test your idea with investors, build a prototype and pitch your solution.
Whether you’re technical, commercially minded or simply interested in building where AI meets industry, it’s a chance to meet ambitious people and turn an idea into something tangible in one day. No existing startup or fully formed idea is needed.
How the day runs
- Morning: Ideation and feedback
- Afternoon: Prototyping
- Evening: Final presentations, prizes and drinks
What to expect
- A full day of building and venture creation
- Industry-focused AI challenges
- Direct feedback from Aurametis Partners
- Mentoring and support throughout the day
- Prizes, including a full investment evaluation by Aurametis Partners and fast-track places on the Hack-Nation Venture Track
- Food throughout the day and drinks afterwards
Details on industry tracks, prizes and judging will be announced soon.
