Hackathons

Drive innovation, empower teams, address business challenges, and implement data/AI and GenAI solutions.

What is a hackathon delivered by UpGradelle Open Innovation?

UpGradelle’s open innovation hackathons harness cutting-edge data and AI technologies, combined with the strength of cross-functional teamwork, to swiftly prototype and present solutions that align with the company’s innovation strategy. This approach incorporates Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and systems engineering principles to optimize business models, boosting performance and accelerating decision-making.
"At UpGradelle, we view hackathons as the modern alternative to traditional team meetings. Instead of holding numerous hour-long sessions, we organize immersive events lasting from half a day to three days, where teams of 20 to 120 individuals work together to address challenges and make faster decisions. Each team is supported by experts in design thinking and professionals in data science, analytics, and engineering to foster innovation and guide the process."
