AImpacto Hackathon 2026

AImpacto Hackathon 2026 A two-day AI learning and entrepreneurship hackathon for university students, mentors, and partners in Madrid. Coming October 2026, the AImpacto Hackathon is a 48-hour experience where participants build real AI solutions with expert mentorship. The event takes place on 16–17 October at the Madrid Innovation Lab (MIL) (C. de Bravo Murillo, 39, Local interior, Chamberí, 28015 Madrid). Most hackathons reward the best pitch – this one rewards the best learning. The programme is structured around four phases: - Team formation – real problems, complementary skills, pairing technical builders with market and user understanding - Technical development – hands-on AI building, covering machine learning fundamentals, prompt engineering, and product thinking - Speed-dating mentorship – rotating feedback from AI researchers, startup founders, and industry experts - Technical presentations – every team member explains their individual contribution and what they learned Evaluation focuses on three things: individual contribution, technical understanding, and problem identification. ### Partners & Support Made possible with support from Tetuán Valley (Madrid’s leading startup accelerator), Women in AI Spain (dedicated to diversity and inclusion in AI), and Madrid Innovation Lab (host venue). ### Who It’s For University students, mentors, and partners in Madrid who want to leave with practical AI skills, clearer entrepreneurial judgment, and a stronger sense of how technology can create responsible social impact.
