What is Sonant AI Hackathon?

The Sonant Hackathon is Portugal’s first hackathon focused on AI-powered technology (including voice and audio) for the Insurance industry.

Over 24 hours, developers, designers, and innovators will team up to build solutions using Sonant’s world class Partner’s APIs and other AI tools, redefining how humans and insurance communicate.


When and where is it?

The hackathon takes place on November 7-8 2025, at The Fintech House, Lisbon.

It’s a 24-hour event starting Friday evening and ending Saturday night with final pitches and awards.


Who can apply?

Anyone passionate about AI, InsureTech and innovation is welcome.


Can I hack solo?

No, you can apply solo, but everyone will be required to be part of a team of 2-3 people. We will provide more info closer to the event.


Do I need to submit an application if I'm already part of a team?

Can I leave the venue?

Yes, you can come and go freely, but remember hacking continues through the night!

Just make sure your submission stays on track and check-in when you return.

Absolutely. Fintech House will be open 24/7 during the hackathon , with workspace, Wi-Fi, chill areas, and refreshments available at all times.


What can I build?

There will be an Idea Pool, made available closer to the event date, with a curated list of potential project ideas or challenges that anyone can build on during the hackathon.
