A few words about this Hackathon
RENVIS is looking for the next generation of techies to take part in the 1st SOFIA 4.0 Hackathon!
Under the EUHubs4Data experiment entitled “A Data-Driven Decision Support System to Automate Innovation Scoring Process” (SOFIA 4.0), executed with the collaboration and the support of Teralab IMT, ITI Data Cycle Hub & AIR4S, we are organizing a challenge to find the best way to implement ML & AI into our SOFIA DSS Innovation Scoring platform.
If you thrive on hacking out data-driven solutions, sign-up to join our Challenge!
What is the Challenge about?
Find the best data-driven solution and integrate it on our SOFIA DSS Innovation Scoring platform!
You will be given access to pre-configured Virtual Machines, loaded with all the necessary tools to create Jupyter notebooks that can analyze, process and configure Machine Learning Models, to solve a given problem by using data.
(*) More information on SOFIA DSS Innovation Scoring here.
Is there a Prize?
The best team will have the chance of collaborating with RENVIS to apply their solution and integration in the official SOFIA DSS Innovation Scoring application. Access to RENVIS resources and tools included!
The best team will also get resources, support and training by our team to start using AWS and spin-out their own cloud-based data-driven solutions worthing up to $300 in AWS and covered by RENVIS!
Who can participate?
Are you an IT student, junior solution architect, software developer, engineer, or just someone who is deeply immersed in the tech universe?
Gather your team (max 3 people), sign-up to express your interest by 07/10/2022, 17:00 EEST and join the Challenge!
