Mentor at Inovačný Cirkus 2026: AI hackathon for local government
Divadlo Jána Palárika, Trnava | 25-26 August 2026

Inovačný Cirkus is a conference and hackathon on digitalization and AI in the public sector, organized by Opium.systems with KIRA as main partner. The 2026 edition brought together local governments, regional bodies, nonprofits, and tech partners around the theme “The Future of Local Government in the Age of AI”.

I joined as a mentor for the hackathon teams, helping them with UX, usability, and checking that they were solving a real problem for the people who would use it. I also was part of the board who choose six finalist teams which pitched their prototypes to a jury on stage.
