Introduction
Our theme is "The Human Compass: Navigating AI for Local Impact." We are looking for solutions that help real people solve real problems in a local context. Forget "global disruption" for a second—look at your neighbor, a local business in Ahlen, or a community volunteer. How can AI point them in the right direction?
