One of the great ambition of the challenge is to build synergy between major Business school and Engineering schools to meet the complex challenge of Data and its impact on society

Build interdisciplinary teams

The Hi!ckathon will challenge your ability to work with people from different background.

Interdisciplinarity will be a key element for this Hi!Ckathon, which will ask you to project yourself in a market context as well as producing a data science model

The theme : AI for energy efficiency

When it comes to using AI to be more respectful of Environment, one must not forget the whole picture as the extensive use of AI in itself can be harmful.
In that context, the Hi!ckathon will require you to balance performance and energy consumption of your model

AI for Energy efficiency

Recent breakthroughs in AI can be a decisive enabler to allow company to investigate the prospects of more efficient energy consumption : power grid management, energy storage, energy forecasting…

Frugal AI

Training AI is an energy intensive process. The carbon footprint of an AI model can rise up to five times the consumption of a car during its lifetime, making it essential to consider a more “Frugal AI”
