Happy Kids Academy, a Luxembourg-based social impact startup developing AI-driven learning tools, has been selected among the Global Top 30 AI Solutions participating in the Global Impact Challenges, with the ceremony set to take place at the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi.
The recognition came as part of the AI by HER (Female Founders) Challenge, which highlights women-led innovation in artificial intelligence and includes participation in the AI Expo held alongside the Summit.
According to India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the AI by HER Global Impact Challenge received more than 800 applications from over 50 countries. The Top 30 finalists represent women entrepreneurs developing AI-driven solutions across sectors including healthcare, sustainability, financial inclusion, workforce development, education, agriculture and digital commerce.
HappyKids.ai focuses on applying artificial intelligence to help prevent the growing global youth mental health crisis. The Luxembourg startup develops AI-powered tools aimed at strengthening mental resilience and supporting human flourishing among teenagers, with a prevention-first approach designed for use by schools, families and public health agencies.
“This is the future of AI,” said one curator at the Summit, Dr Aashish Juneja, PhD. “The whole event is about AI, but happykids.ai is the future of the future.”
Happy Kids Academy was founded and is led by Luanna Eroles, a healthtech innovator who transitioned from a career in the insurance sector to focus on social entrepreneurship. The initiative forms part of a broader movement promoting female leadership in artificial intelligence and social impact.
While in India, representatives of the Luxembourg startup also engaged with local high school students, mentoring girls involved in AI projects who were selected to present at AI Thinkpreneurs, a side event of the Summit.
“As youth mental health challenges are increasingly described as one of the defining crises of this generation, this recognition reflects Luxembourg’s potential to contribute human-centered technological solutions at global scale,” the company said, noting that it operates as a 100% social impact enterprise.
