MKB Fintechlab Hackathon

Developers, Designers, Industry Experts, Business People wanted! Fintech Academy is back for the 3rd time! This year MKB Fintechlab is focusing on hands-on learning with a Hackathon part of the Academy. Between November 30 - December 2 the best talents in fintech are invited from Hungary and the CEE region to test the APIs made available by MKB Bank and its partners. Practical info We are looking for teams of 2-4 people. Team registration is required.  During the hackathon there is no need to completely finalize the project you are working on but it must be more than just an idea (e.g. a presentation or clickable prototype). The closest way to describe what we are looking for would be "a working prototype of a key functionality" that ultimately needs to be presented to a professional jury. Comfortable location, strong internet connection, and refreshments will be provided, you should bring your ideas and device(s) to work on. Throughout the weekend, mentoring will be offered by industry experts and participants will have the chance to practice their pitches during a short training before presenting to the Jury on Sunday afternoon. We are looking for people with a can-do and will-do attitude, we won’t bother you with workshops or speeches during the hacking - we will let you build your product while offering you every technical and professional support you need.
