Every week, we release new video content teaching you how to use AI across 5 impact areas. Test your newfound knowledge with quizzes and receive a certificate after completing each chapter.

Our Challenge Partners will provide supplementary learning content and a customised, Deep Dive video course tailored to their specific challenge. These Deep Dive videos optimally prepare you for the final and most exciting phase of the programme!

Phase 3: Build and Release

This 4-to-6-week-phase is dedicated to advancing your project ideas into functioning prototypes. Engage in agile project sprints, supported by experts and mentors from our partners at Microsoft, Capgemini and our impact ecosystem.

We expect a weekly commitment of around 10 hours, including webinars, AI practice, mentoring, and team alignment. Expect to learn quickly, and we encourage you to invest time and focus on creating real value.

At the end of this phase, you’ll present your prototype or MVP to a jury. The most promising submission will be invited to present their innovation at a live event – with the chance of winning prizes!

Testimonials

I greatly appreciated the format of the "AI for Impact" program, which allowed participants to work on a topic over several weeks. This extended timeframe fostered deeper thought development compared to a compressed weekend event. I also found the diverse team composition beneficial, as well as the interdisciplinary collaboration. This led to impressive results.
