Welcome to Safe & Healthy Workplace Hackathon with SÄKU and Afa Försäkring

Join this inspiring hackathon filled with great networking, hands-on work with cutting-edge software technology, and innovative solutions.

The challenge: Build an AI-powered solution that reduces injuries and unhealthy stress at work!

Workplace hazards and mental fatigue are persistent threats to workforce well-being. By leveraging AI, we can shift from reactive protocols to proactive environments that prioritize holistic health and operational stability.

Your Mission: Build an AI-powered solution that reduces injuries and unhealthy stress at work by predicting and neutralizing hazards before they manifest. Participants are tasked with developing intelligent applications — such as voice-driven 'buddies' for incident feedback, computer vision for on-site inspections, predictive models for psychosocial health, or systems that bridge the gap between regulations and real-time operational planning.

Delivering this technology creates immediate value by lowering incident rates, reducing absenteeism costs, and ensuring a secure, supportive setting for every employee, ensuring the employees come home safe and sound after work.

Work on real-world ideas submitted by leading companies

Scania, Vattenfall, JM, Stena Recycling, NCC, OKG, Akademiska hus, Ovako, Outokumpu, Arbetsmiljöverket, and many more have submitted real-world business cases for the teams to work on. This is a great opportunity to solve real problems and make a meaningful impact.

Cutting-edge software technology

We offer all participants inspiration and training in how to build better enterprise-grade systems much faster using AI and other cutting-edge technologies—like those used by leading software companies such as SpaceX, Apple, and Anthropic.
