During the AIGrunn Challenge 2026, you will work at Niemeyer over two days on real-world issues surrounding AI, entrepreneurship, creativity, and impact. Together with a multidisciplinary team, you will discover how you can leverage AI to build something new, tackle a major problem, or establish a strong concept. You do not need any prior knowledge of AI: curiosity, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit are far more important. On day 2, AI experts will join as additional team members, sparring partners, or a sort of co-founder to help you experiment faster, build smarter, and tackle bigger challenges.

Students were like a mirror to me. They came up with refreshing ideas and brought the latest knowledge that I didn't know beforehand I needed to know.
I hadn't expected beforehand that the Green Business Challenge would provide such a networking boost. I worked directly with experts in the field and even landed a job! You build a network here in a short time that is truly useful. If you are looking for an entry into the green sector, this is it!
I never thought that, as a student, I would immediately work with companies in the energy transition. Thanks to the challenge, I found my first job in the sector and built a network that I still benefit from.
The Green Business Challenge opened many more doors than I had expected. In addition to working in a team full of motivated students, I also learned new things that I will take with me into the professional field.
Sign up and work with ambitious teams and leading organizations on concrete sustainable challenges.
