Reviews From Developers 

“I'd say 2Hero AI Business Value Hackathons is where technology and business problems meets, exactly what we need in this wave of AI adoption by businesses. Loved it and keep it up!”

“The AI Business Value Hackathon has been a great opportunity to bridge talents and needs. It provided a platform for devs and businesses to collaborate and deliver real value using state-of-the-art AI tools.”

“I wanted to work on a real business problem with people from different backgrounds, not just build a technical demo. The best part for me was the collaboration between developers, business leaders and mentors. It made the experience very practical, fast-paced and highly relevant, and it felt like what real innovation work looks like in practice. It was one of the few hackathons where the focus was truly on business value, not only on technology, and that made the experience very meaningful.”

“I had the privilege of attending what was likely the best hackathon in the Nordics yesterday, and I was amazed by it.” 

"Thank you for introducing us to people interested in our idea—it means a lot and opens up great opportunities for us. It was an amazing experience, and we’re grateful for the connections and insights gained. Such a fantastic hackathon!”

“Great energy, talent and real problems to solve. Exactly what a hackathon should be.”

Reviews From Executives

IKEA, H&M, Saab, TetraPak, ASSA ABLOY, PwC, Tele2, Alfa Laval, BabyBjorn and many more have all joined our AI Business Value Hackathons. Here are some quotes: 

“What an event! Amazing to work with a team to improve a process that actually matters! Best hackathon so far. Inspiring to experience what is actually possible to achieve in one day. Already looking forward to next time. 

Peter Sundström, AI & Digital Transformation Manager, Saab:

“Truly a fun and focused experience. I came in as a leader with a big idea and left with proof: vision aligned fast, a small and committed team hit the ground running and delivered innovation, and business value was demonstrated in days; any executive with a great idea should join!”

Srinivasa Kiran Kondaveeti, Product Manager, ASSA ABLOY

“The Hackathon gave me more of an advantage and knowledge about AI in one day than meetings and presentations about AI do. Building together with developers around a critical business problem is incredibly powerful. This is AI and modern development for real. Pace, focus and real challenges in an awesome environment. The best environment I know for leaders to quickly test, learn and make valuable connections.

It's actually hard to describe in words how great this is. You have to experience it and in that moment you're hooked. Addictive like nothing else! This is really something I'll do again.”

Martin Weibull, CEO, Intelliplan

"Joining the AI Business Value Hackathon was a truly fun and energizing experience. I signed up because I wanted to explore how AI can translate ambitious business ideas into real, tangible solutions – and the hackathon delivered exactly that. Working side‑by‑side with talented developers created the perfect blend of strategic thinking and hands‑on innovation. If you're an executive with a great idea, this is the place to turn it into something real!"

Tina Thelénius, Communications and Change Manager, PwC Sweden

“This hackathon compresses innovation. You validate business ideas, technology, and collaboration models at the same time, with immediate feedback. For leaders who want fast, concrete learning rather than slides, it’s a powerful format.”

Kenneth Pernyér, Strategic Foresight - AI Technology Management, ASSA ABLOY

We promise you an unforgettable experience!
