It’s people do not have traditional sources of identification are thus excluded from financial services. They are deemed by their society to be the ‘unbanked clan’. They may not have passports. They may not even have a driver’s license. They may have little or no credit history. Where there is data, it is hard to access and not verified.

You have been transported to the future and the world of online rewards, gifts and loyalty is in trouble. Consumers are alienated. The Data Gods demand homage - they ask for too much, but consumers’ prayers are seldom answered.  Sign-Ups are complex and unbearable, leading to high drop-off rates.  Rewards and benefits are confusing, irrelevant and add little value.  Many customers are unaware of rewards/gifts available  Redeeming rewards is complex and time-consuming. Your mission is to reconquer this world for the consumers - give them the solution of the future, a simple, easy-to-use and effective way to sign up and use online rewards through gamification.  What does the future experience of online gifts & rewards look like?  How could you bring value and relevance back to online gifts & rewards?  How could you radically improve redemption?  How could you use user data to engage or re-engage customers ?  How could you simplify and create fun and engaging sign-up and login processes?  How can you make consumers aware of gifts and rewards available and encourage repeat custom?  How can you encourage experiential rewards? Your mission is to reconquer this world for the consumers - give them the solution of the future, a simple, easy-to-use and effective way to sign up and use online rewards through gamification. Prize: $2,500 - Cash Prize for winning team Runner Up Prize: Apple Watch and a Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition Kit per Team Member   World 3: The Battle for Blockchain The war for contract simplicity has lasted many years with no one side gaining the upper hand.  Time is wasted on emails and phone calls to agree on final legal terms.  A severe lack of understanding around who did what when has emerged.   There is no audit trail. Your mission is to reinvent the way that contracts are agreed upon.  How could you create a smart contract that gives a clear audit trail using the Blockchain?  How could you create a streamlined process which gives both parties the option to review and amend terms in real time?  How could you execute a smart contract that takes into account exceptions or unique terms in pricing? Your mission is to bring peace to this world.
