This first edition of the Retail Gen AI Hackathon, powered by ALDO Group, and in collaboration with AWS, was a unique opportunity to work on a real-life problem, and learn how AI and data analytics can help retailers make better data-driven decisions within their operations.
Over two days, 10 finalist student teams representing four Ï㽶ÊÓƵ faculties, hacked innovative generative AI solutions for our title sponsor ALDO Group. The judges from Desautels Faculty of Management, ALDO Group, and Amazon Web Services as well as the audience were blown away by each teams’ talent, ingenuity, and creativity.
