About the digital.auto GenAI Awards
Welcome to the digital.auto GenAI Awards! Join us to harness the power of GenAI for the software-defined vehicle (SDV). Win the digital.auto GenAI award by participating in our quarterly competitions. We are looking for novel ways to apply multimodel GenAI to create visually rich, SDV-enabled prototypes and solution sketches.
​
All you need is a GenAI driven SDV idea and a GitHub account to access our web-based prototyping environment: the digital.auto playground - powered by Eclipse SDV autoworx.
​
And participation pays off: win up to € 5,000! Each quarter, the best team wins € 2,000. In the final showdown between the 3 best teams, another € 3,000 can be won – so € 5,000 in total for the best team after three rounds.
​
The digital.auto community and all participating partners - AWS, Bosch, ETAS, thoughtworks, Eclipse Foundation, Steinbeis, and the Bosch Startup Harbour - are looking forward to your ideas.
