Hafnia Hackathon 2026 Overview and Winners

We invited developers to build working video intelligence applications in weeks, without training a model or owning any video infrastructure. Hafnia Hackathon 2026 brought together 62 participants from 25 countries to find a real operational problem and turn video data into new applications, from alerts to dashboards. Building with Hafnia VLMs, NVIDIA Cosmos-3, the XProtect APIs and a ready-made Milestone XProtect environment, eight finalists showcased their submissions at the Milestone Developer Summit in Copenhagen this week.

Brighter Cities in Motion

Cities already have the cameras. Most do not use them well. In Brighter Cities in Motion, we look at why. Privacy rules limit how footage can be used, and the analytics have not always been accurate enough to trust. Anonymisation from brighter AI and the Hafnia video data library are part of the answer, with examples from Dubuque, Genoa and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges. It also covers what anonymisation does not solve, which is consent, and why sharing data across cities depends on permission.

What happens when traffic AI model meets a new city?

A traffic detection model that performs well in one city may be 50% less accurate in another. That was one of the clearest findings from Track 6 of the 10th AI City Challenge.

AI in the Public Eye

This article underpins a new series, Hafnia Tech Talks: AI in the Public Eye, and this Hafnia community we are building around it. It is written for anyone who cares where computer vision and AI are heading in public life, not only for the people who build or use it.
