AaltoAI Hackathon: Data Sovereignty & Responsible AI
Data has become the most valuable asset organizations run on. As GDPR and the EU AI Act tighten, the question isn't just "can we build it?" anymore. It's "who controls the data, and can we trust the AI?" This is your chance to work on tech that actually matters, real problems around privacy, trust, and control that European companies are wrestling with right now. Over one weekend, you'll go from a challenge brief to a working prototype, alongside Finland's best technical talent, mentored directly by engineers from the partner companies who brought the problems to the table. Join Finland's largest student-led AI community for a weekend of building AI systems that don't just work, but also earn trust.

Ask an AI Expert: Founder Edition
Got a product idea, a research question, or something you're building, but want to know if it actually holds up? This is your chance to sit down directly with experienced AI researchers and engineers and ask them anything. Honest, technical conversations with people who've built and researched the things you're trying to figure out. How it works: A small group of founding teams join for the evening — teams are preferred, though strong individual applicants are also welcome you'll rotate through expert tables — each staffed by a researcher and an engineer — for focused, one-on-one conversations Ask about feasibility, technical approach, research direction, or anything you're stuck on Whether you have a fully formed idea or just a strong pull toward becoming a founder and a specific problem you want to dig into, this is built for you. Apply as a team where possible. Snacks provided.
