FinTech Week Hackathon 2019 -- Stay tuned !! [More information is coming soon]
A 36-hour FinTech hackathon of product development, where diverse ideas collide and the best ones emerge as a new product or service.
It's a madhouse of creative fun, with Coding, Designing and Marketing working together in teams for accelerated productivity. Shine in front of tech leaders presenting your project "on stage".
Participants will work in teams from Friday evening (November 1st) and have 36 hours to devise, build and launch their prototypes. The event will then conclude with a pitch on stage to startup, talents, experts, and judges during the final event on Sunday (November 3rd).
It is a satellite event of the Hong Kong FinTech Week 2019. It's one of the largest conferences on the calendar, attracting more than 10,000 senior executives and featuring over 250 of the world's top FinTech founders, investors, regulators, and academics, who are shaping the future of financial services by driving a technological revolution in the industry across Asia and globally.
