Sopra Steria International Student Challenge: participate for a sustainable and responsible future

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has woven itself into every aspect of our daily lives, unlocking endless possibilities. Now, it's your turn to harness its potential and imagine ideas that could make the world a better place—a world where AI is already revolutionizing healthcare, making education more inclusive, driving the circular economy, and protecting our planet.

Starting on September 16, 2024, Sopra Steria invites you to join the largest IT student challenge in Europe! Compete against participants from 10 countries (Belgium, France, Spain, India, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland...) and propose concrete solutions using AI to create a positive impact on tomorrow's world. Each project must align with one of the four major themes of the competition: environment, society, economy, or education.
