Hackathon 2023: AI and Data Science in the service of responsible innovation
The final of the 4th edition of the Hi!ckathon took place from December 1st to 4th at ENSAE Paris. This event, dedicated to artificial intelligence and data science, was organized by the interdisciplinary center Hi! Paris in partnership with HEC Paris and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris). Bringing together 40 teams composed of students and professionals in these fields, the hackathon provided a unique platform for exchange.
Three weeks of intense preparation, including stimulating courses, diverse exercises, and coaching sessions, paved the way for this crucial moment: the final sprint of the Hi!ckathon! Participants faced the challenge of designing innovative solutions to solve concrete problems submitted by sponsoring companies. Among these partners were major players such as Capgemini, Kering, L'Oréal, Rexel, Schneider Electric, Total Energie, and Vinci.
At the end of this intense weekend, a jury composed of academics, data science experts, and representatives of sponsoring companies had the delicate task of awarding prizes to X teams.
Seven prizes were awarded during the closing ceremony, recognizing different categories and areas of excellence.
