Hackathon – SSE Business Lab x KTH AI Society x Microsoft

Application: Hackathon – Building Cool Stuff with AI

This spring, Stockholm becomes the launchpad for bold AI ideas.
Co-hosted by KTH AI Society, SSE Business Lab, and Microsoft, this one-of-a-kind hackathon brings together top tech talent, business minds, and early-stage founders to create the next wave of AI-powered startups.

Under the theme "Cool Stuff with AI," participants will form startup teams, build real prototypes, and pitch their ideas at Microsoft HQ—with mentorship from industry experts throughout the process. The winning team gets fast-tracked into SSE Business Lab, a European top 10 start-up Incubator

Whether you are a coder, strategist, or simply curious about AI, apply now to go from spark to startup.
Spots are limited, so early application is encouraged.
