Politis Group Gold Sponsor at the AI Hackathon 2026 by ACE
Politis Group consistently invests in innovative technologies that evolve media and enhance urban living. Guided by technological development and the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence, which is redefining the future of technology and society, we actively participated in the AI Hackathon 2026 organized by ACE. Our support included both our role as Gold Sponsor and the presentation of a dedicated challenge for the participants.
Our participation in the event represented a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative aimed at strengthening innovation, technological advancement, and most importantly the new generation of students engaged in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
As part of the communication support for the initiative, Politis Group leveraged the power of digital outdoor advertising through its media networks: Digital Billboards Network, Digital Real Time, Digital Bus Shelters, and the Amalias Info Point, located at key points across the city. Through extensive visibility of the AI Hackathon campaign, we enabled students and young audiences to easily discover and learn about the event. Particular emphasis was placed on the use of QR codes integrated into the campaign visuals. With a simple scan from their mobile phones, interested participants could instantly access the registration page and apply to take part in the hackathon. This initiative highlighted in practice the power of outdoor advertising as a direct, interactive, and highly effective communication channel, bridging the physical urban environment with the digital world.
At the same time, Politis Group actively contributed to the event by introducing a dedicated challenge for the hackathon teams. The goal was to give participants the opportunity to develop innovative ideas and solutions using Artificial Intelligence in an environment of collaboration, creativity, and technological experimentation.
We are particularly proud that Marios Georgakopoulos (Corporate Transformation Director – Politis Group) served as one of the judges of the competition, evaluating the innovative AI ideas and solutions presented by the teams. Through his experience and expertise, he contributed to identifying the most impactful proposals.
Additionally, Giorgos Sigas (AI Engineer – Politis Group) participated as a mentor, guiding the teams, helping them overcome technical challenges, and supporting them in transforming their ideas into practical solutions.
Mr. Haris Politis – President of Politis Group stated: “At Politis Group, we believe that when Artificial Intelligence is used consciously and intelligently, it becomes a powerful tool capable of shaping a better future. By supporting initiatives like the AI Hackathon, we empower the new generation that will drive innovation and create real value for society.”
For Politis Group, supporting initiatives that strengthen education, innovation, and the potential of young people is a fundamental priority. Our participation in the AI Hackathon 2026 by ACE is part of a broader CSR strategy aimed at contributing to initiatives that create a positive social impact.
The active participation of students and young professionals highlighted the remarkable creativity and talent of the new generation, a driving force for the future of technology and entrepreneurship.
