42 x Volkswagen x Databricks - Data & AI Hackathon: The Final Pitches
über dieses event
Join Volkswagen and 42 in Berlin on Nov 20 to see students pitch real-world data & AI prototypes live, followed by drinks and networking.
On 19 and 20 November, 42 Berlin and 42 Wolfsburg's most ambitious coders take on a real-world data challenge from Volkswagen's logistics team. On Friday 20 November, they present their solutions live, and you're invited to watch.
The challenge: Every day, thousands of suppliers and carriers send data to a global manufacturer in different formats, and much of it arrives as unstructured email. Our teams have 48 hours to turn that chaos into usable, trustworthy data. They can tackle one of three tracks: using AI to turn unstructured emails into structured data; smarter matching of delivery notes to transport orders; and a "data quality cockpit" that helps suppliers and carriers improve their own data.
Why come? See talent in action — there are no slides about potential here, you'll see working prototypes built under real pressure, with real industry data. Meet the people shaping it: expect leaders from Volkswagen, plus automotive and industry-association guests and the jury. Spot your next hire — students are competing for exclusive internships, and this is a front-row seat to the talent pipeline. Stay for the networking: drinks and conversation follow the final pitch.
Who should attend: Decision-makers and experts in automotive, logistics, data and AI. Also recruiters, partners and anyone curious about what 42 students can build in two days.
Where and when: 42 Berlin, Harzer Str. 39, 12059 Berlin. Friday 20 November, doors: 13:30; pitches: 14:00–16:00; winner announcement & networking: 16:30–18:00. Reserve your seat for the pitches and see what 42's next generation builds.
