The GenAI for Good Challenge: Cities Edition is a competition offering funding and technical support to teams of adult residents developing AI-based solutions for designated municipal challenges and real-world deployment.

The challenge is organized around designated municipal use cases in Pristina, Rivne, and Skopje, and teams are required to use the open-source GENIE AI framework. The challenge provides funding, technical frameworks, and structured collaboration with city stakeholders; finalist teams receive resource support for prototype development.

Teams commit to participating across the competition stages, including the sprint, prototyping, and piloting phases, with winning teams invited to pilot their solutions through the end of 2027. Applicants must be legal residents of the United States or another jurisdiction where participation is permitted by local law, be at least 18 or the age of majority in their jurisdiction if older, and form an informal team of at least two people. Residents of jurisdictions subject to U.S. Treasury Department sanctions are excluded, as are employees of the sponsor, its agents or affiliates and their immediate family members.

Phase One applicants submit a narrative application and skills assessment using the provided templates through both the Funding Portal and Zindi. A panel evaluates submissions, with up to 20 semi-finalists advancing to workshops and nine finalists selected after secondary submissions. Finalists develop prototypes, submit them through the designated IEEE platform, and pitch their solutions; three winning teams, one for each use case, are selected for piloting.
