AI for Good Hackathon 2026
Two days. One big idea. Compete to get your solution in front of Aotearoa's AI community with AI Forum NZ, and win the chance to turn it into a real startup with Seen Ventures! This will be a great opportunity for you to learn, grow, and build something meaningful with an impact focus.
Seen will provide the wrap around mentoring, and we'll be supported by our partners Databricks, AWS, and Toitu to help you build what's next.
Sign up for the Seen x Unitec event at the AI Forum's registration site.
