If you’re interested in creating something from nothing in 48 hours, building the next generation of banking services, testing your skills with people from other disciplines, winning cash prizes, and most importantly having a good time, then CPH Fintech Open Baking Hackathon is for you.

Last weekend of October you can once again join Copenhagen Fintech for a disruptive weekend at Rainmaking Loft. Familiar format, same organisers, brand new industry! 

From January 2018 the new Payment Systems Directive will come into play across EU. This will open new and exciting opportunities for anyone slightly interested in the future of payments, financial transaction and wealth management.

Join 80+ participants with diverse skillsets (software developers, business minds, designers and financial professionals) as well as 30+ mentors (entrepreneurs, executives, industry professionals, investors and consultants) for 48 hours of ideation, prototyping, rapid market validation and business modeling. But most of all lots of fun and learning.

The winning teams will be admitted to the Copenhagen FinTech pre-accelerator program starting in November 2017.

First prize 25.000 DKK goes to to overall best team dicided by the Jury. There will also be special prizes from Spar Nord and Nordea as well as free flex seats at Copenhagen FinTech Lab. 

Work with awesome people, win money AND found your startup at the same time!
