Please note: a full 2026 challenge line-up will be revealed at the AIC launch event on March 4th. Here are a few challenges that will be coming back this year, to give you a flavour…
Reimagining Past Technologies for the Future
Traditional technologies like wind-powered sails, passive cooling, and mechanical pumps were replaced by fossil fuel-based innovations. By integrating modern materials, smart controls, and digital optimization, these time-tested solutions could be revived to create more sustainable and efficient alternatives for today’s challenges.
The Open Challenge
This challenge invites you to tackle global environmental, social, and economic issues using the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a framework. Use your creativity to develop solutions that promote sustainability and equity.
Harnessing New Technologies to Improve Human Health
Emerging technologies like AI diagnostics and digital health are transforming disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. While promising, challenges remain in data validation, ethics, and global accessibility. Ensuring these innovations are effective, safe, and equitable is key to delivering real patient value.
