Wrist Intelligence for Training and Life
Smartwatches are packed with advanced sensors, yet most people still use them only to count steps. In this challenge, your goal is to transform a wearable device into an AI-powered sport and health companion that genuinely improves the user’s daily life.
Build a smartwatch application that uses AI in a meaningful way, whether through data analysis, natural language understanding, personalized coaching, rapid feedback, or any other creative idea you can bring to life.
Your solution should support real users such as athletes, runners, cyclists, gym enthusiasts, or people dealing with recovery, chronic conditions, or disabilities. Focus on solving a concrete sport or health challenge: preparing for competitions, preventing overtraining, pacing during activity, maintaining safe heart-rate zones, improving sleep, supporting rehabilitation, or anything else that matters.
Make full use of the smartwatch’s hardware and capabilities: GPS, motion and heart-rate sensors, other biosensors, notifications, haptics, gestures, or voice features. AI may run on the watch, on a paired phone, or in the cloud, as long as the smartwatch remains the core of the experience.

IMCity: The Munich ETF Challenge Hack the market. Trade real-world signals.
Get ready to trade on IMC’s custom-built simulated exchange, where every market comes with its own quirks and dynamics.
This isn’t a one-dimensional challenge. You’ll face a mix of markets that range from intuitive to complex, including the Munich ETF, a synthetic asset driven by live data from the city of Munich. Weather, air quality, flight activity, and other local signals could all feed into the markets engine, turning the pulse of a real city into something you can actually trade
Some markets will feel familiar, while others will demand that you dig deeper, spotting structure in the noise, interpreting patterns, and adapting as the landscape shifts. The goal is to test both your technical precision and your strategic creativity.
Your mission is to build and refine your trading strategy to perform across these different environments. It’s not just about PnL. It’s about how you think, adapt, and engineer your edge. Each market reveals something different: clean system design, algorithmic efficiency, or creative modeling. Together, they’ll challenge you to trade where information and action move hand in hand.

Dual Listing & News Feed Processing: Twice the Trade
Join Optiver’s challenge to harness the power of AI in trading and master the intricacies of dual-listing trading. Through the analysis of simulated social media messages and real-time competition on Optibook, you’ll explore AI’s potential to predict stock movements, enhance market efficiency, and capitalize on temporary price discrepancies between dual-listed stocks (stocks traded in two different exchanges) Note: We don’t look at PnL (profit & loss) alone to decide the winner, but it is obviously a factor. The challenge is a very realistic but simplified version of our core business at Optiver. By participating, you’ll discover how trading really works, and you’ll walk away with a greater understanding of life at a trading company and the ability to build your own Python trading algorithm.

Siemens
Container Siege: Capture & Secure
Modern enterprises rely heavily on containerized environments, often deployed across complex, distributed cloud infrastructures. Misconfigurations and other security issues in these environments can create critical security gaps, exposing systems to attacks. This challenge invites participants to detect and analyze security issues in containerized environments and design a scalable solution to address them. The goal is to develop a tool (proof-of-concept) that can identify the security issues, provide actionable remediation steps, and improve resilience across large, diverse environments. A Capture-the-Flag (CTF) side quest will give participants the chance to test their offensive skills. In this challenge, Participants will experience both perspectives: Red Team (attacker) to uncover weaknesses and Blue Team (defender) to secure them.
SIXT
Digital Rent
Sixt is accelerating the digitalization of its core rental product. While our booking flow has been fully digital for decades, the checkout and counter experience—historically delivered by rental sales agents—remains the most impactful part of the customer journey. The central challenge is upselling: matching the effectiveness, personalization, and situational nuance of in-person agents in a seamless digital flow.
Your task is to design and prototype an outstanding digital upsell experience that rivals the counter. Focus on core revenue-drivers such as vehicle upgrades, protection products, and optional add-ons. Leverage the latest possibilities of generative AI to deliver personalized recommendations, contextual sales guidance, dynamic storytelling, or entirely new interaction patterns that a human agent could never scale. The goal is to redefine how customers discover value—intuitively, transparently, and with delight—before they start their journey with Sixt.
