Requirements
We are thrilled to invite students from around the globe to participate in FinTech Hackathon 2024, a premier event where technology meets finance.
The objective of the hackathon is to harness artificial intelligence, computer science, or STEM to create cutting-edge solutions that tackle financial challenges. Your project can take the form of a website, app, tool, or platform, showcasing your creativity and innovation in the fintech space. Regardless of your submission type, participants must submit a presentation or video describing their final product. If you wrote any code, a GitHub link is preferred for submission.
We are also offering a special award for participants who focus on the "no-code" category by submitting a fully developed idea or business plan without any technical build. This provides an opportunity for creative thinkers to shine with visionary ideas that can drive real change in the finance industry.
For all categories, we require a maximum 5-minute video detailing the tools used in your code/idea and a demonstration.
