14 - 15 December Mindspace, Pipera
On the 14-15th of December iFactor and its partners want to spark interest to enhance
more AI-driven technologies into the financial sector.
The growing scope of AI has made it one of the most popular themes at hackathons
worldwide. A hackathon is the perfect platform to meet other AI enthusiasts and build
innovative solutions towards optimizing industries.
AI is a global opportunity, focusing the attention of the data science and business
communities on how our most cutting edge tools can deliver a brighter future for us all.
We want to collaborate across nations to make game-changing innovations in AI. The
need for more personalized machine interactions in every sphere of technology has led
to the invention of many new hacks in the domain. When it comes to innovations in AI,
the sky’s the limit.
Campaign start and teams will be able to apply to participate.
After an intense selection process the main teams will receive their participation confirmation.
2 days of intense programming, mentoring and product creation.
Demo Night where the participants will showcase their creation in front of a jury and our guests.
Developers, data scientists and business individuals of all backgrounds and skill levels are
encouraged to submit projects. Also, pre-existing startups, SMEs or corporate teams can
join. Recommended, but not mandatory, for all team members, is a general to deep
knowledge of AI systems.
We are aiming towards teams of 1-3 developers, 1 data scientist and someone with business
experience. We recommend a captain with a full team of 5 to 6 members with a diverse set
of skills.
To note that the teams should consists of people that can quickly adapt to change, as
during our hackathon you will be experiencing time pressure in a dynamic environment.
All team captains have to fill in an application form covering all team roles, clear motivation
and their ideas.
The Ai in Finance team will then curate the applications and lead a discussion with the
captains of best applications for an interview call. We will then select the top 10 teams
based on the team’s motivation, ambition, and expertise.
