Want to sponsor the Hackathon?
Here is all you need to know!
Why sponsor?
The French Tech Shanghai AI Hackathon connects leading corporations and startups with top European and Chinese tech talent to turn real business challenges into working AI prototypes — in just 24 hours.
As a sponsor, you’ll have the opportunity to submit your own project challenges, get custom-built solutions from talented multidisciplinary teams, and engage directly with the next generation of AI innovators.
How it works:
Each corporate or startup sponsor can submit one project challenge related to their business — from generative AI for marketing to sustainability analytics, workflow automation, or customer experience.
Mixed teams of developers, data scientists, designers, and business profiles will work intensively for 24 hours to create a Proof of Concept (POC) and pitch it to a jury that includes your company representative.
The intellectual property of the POC created for your challenge remains yours.
You can also nominate mentors or a jury member, and your brand will be featured in all official event communications, both online and on-site.
Sponsorship tiers:
Platinum Sponsors : Full visibility + 1 project submission + jury seat + IP rights (30,000 RMB)
Gold Sponsors (discounted rate for startups only): 1 project submission + jury seat + IP rights (15,000 RMB)
Silver Sponsors : Track sponsorship + branding highlights (10,000 RMB)
When & Where:
16–17 January 2026 in Shanghai, Jing’An Skin Hub “美创静界” – Lingshi Road, No. 718.
Sponsors’ briefing and challenge validation will take place three weeks before the event.
