Open Innovation Programme - AI for Impact

Open Innovation Programme

Leverage artificial intelligence for the common good. We take on real world challenges by harnessing the potential of data science and AI.

The Open Innovation Programme brings together companies from every sector with civil society organisations, public services and a diverse network of professionals to apply data and AI-led approaches to some of society’s most urgent and challenging problems.

In this programme N3XTCODER works with partners to identify key challenges. 

N3XTCODER with its network attracts participants to build diverse teams of young professionals to work on those challenges with AI and data focus.

In a final showcase event, teams pitch to a jury of experts to find the most impactful solution; the winning team could have the opportunity to develop the idea further with N3XTCODER and programme partners.
