Six Reasons This Matters

Send four to six people.
Bring home a prototype, a peer network, and a path to production.

  • Prototype

    A working AI prototype in 24 hours.

    Your team picks a real pain point. They leave with a prototype ready to pilot within weeks, not a slide deck about an intention.

    Outcome

    Working build, demoable on day one.

  • Support

    Engineers in the room, not links in an inbox.

    On-site Google Cloud engineers and AI mentors. Architecture review, code guidance, and real-time unblocking from practitioners who ship this stack.

    Outcome

    Questions get answered in minutes.

  • Credits

    Free GCP and Gemini credits.

    Experiment freely without worrying about cloud bills or license constraints. Credits cover the prototype window and spill into early pilot work.

    Outcome

    Remove the procurement friction.

  • Network

    The rest of your portfolio, in the room.

    Meet your counterparts across the Eurazeo portfolio. Build relationships that extend beyond the hackathon -- shared learnings, hiring referrals, joint experiments.

    Outcome

    A network you will use next quarter.

  • Proof Point

    A concrete AI case you can take to the board.

    Return to leadership with a validated use case, a feasibility read, and a credible path to production. Replace abstract AI strategy with a line item.

    Outcome

    Board-ready artifact, not a slogan.

  • Accountability

    30 and 90-day follow-through.

    Every portco gets a structured 30-day readout, with continued milestone check-ins tracking the path from prototype to revenue or efficiency impact.

    Outcome

    Momentum, not a one-off.

The Arc -- Prepare, Build, Sustain

Hackathons fade. This one has a runway and a tail.

A runway before so teams arrive with scoped problems, and an accountable tail after so prototypes make it to production.

Mid-June 2026

July 9 & 10, 2026

August through November 2026

Phase 01 · Prepare

Two remote enablement sessions and a venue dry run in late June.

  • Team intake: CEO-endorsed problem statement logged.
  • GCP and Gemini onboarding session (Google DevRel).
  • Hackathon mechanics walkthrough (Yelin.io).
  • Venue dry run on June 29.

Phase 02 · Build

Twenty-four hours of focused build at Google Bastille, Paris.

  • Kickoff and team briefing -- Thursday evening.
  • Prototype sprint with mentor drop-ins -- midday through night.
  • Demo and judging block -- afternoon of day two.
  • Partner and peer celebration -- closing.

Phase 03 · Sustain

30-day readouts for every portco, with ongoing program support through the fall.

  • 30-day readout meeting (all portcos) by Aug 31.
  • Ongoing program support and case material capture through Nov 15.

They come back aligned, energized, and with solutions built.
