New Ireland Hackathon - Meetup

HOW OFTEN do you think about your retirement?  Life Insurance?  Or Investments?

• Current millennials will live longer than any generation. 

• You may easily live a third of your life in retirement.

• You could also be the first generation whose lifetime earnings will be lower that your parents.

New Ireland Assurance and DCU Ryan Academy have partnered to deliver a weekend Hackathon - #NewIrelandHackathon - and have set a challenge to answer some of the above questions: 

Challenge:  "How to make insurance, investments & pensions
