Building on the success of its previous events \u2013 to redefine finance for good and build an unbiased fintech future \u2013 this year\u2019s launch coincides with International Women\u2019s Day (IWD), aiming to inspire the fintech space to be open by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year the hackathon encourages engagement beyond the global fintech ecosystem with a focus on financial sustainability, inclusion and empowerment. Participants are invited to submit projects under three key themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Sustainable and inclusive finance: <\/strong>Financial inclusion and literacy, sustainable and green finance, circular economy, diversity, equity &amp; inclusion, Sustainable Development Goals<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Embedded finance<\/strong>: Bringing financial services to other industries with Banking as a Service (BaaS)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/strong>: Digital assets, CBDCs, DeFi, Cryptocurrencies, NFTs and metaverses, Web3<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chirine BenZaied, Head of Innovation at Finastra said, \u201cThis is more than just a hackathon. It is a fintech movement and we want to ignite a world of financial sustainability, inclusion, and autonomy. We\u2019re calling for fintechs, banks, students and more to come forward with innovative ideas. The event is open to all. You don\u2019t need to be a technical expert. We believe everyone has a role to play in redefining the future of finance. I\u2019m excited that we\u2019re launching our hack on IWD, as it underlines our commitment to inspiring women and girls in the STEM space, breaking bias and encouraging equity for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finastra is making its open APIs available via its FusionFabric.cloud development platform for the hack. A number of partners are also supporting this innovation on a global scale. These include Betacube, DeFi: Chainlink, DeFi Pulse, Google, Hong Kong Cyberport, Lloyds Banking Group, Mastercard, Microsoft, Scotiabank and Societe Generale \u2013 FORGE (for DeFi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel Maggs, Senior Manager, Digital Currencies, Lloyds Banking Group, a Finastra customer supporting the hack said, \u201cWe are excited to be involved with this important event that will inspire hackers around the world to innovate and bring ideas that could have real impact and potentially change people\u2019s lives for the better, whether that\u2019s access to finance, something that supports diversity and inclusion or the next big idea that could change the face of banking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amel Saidane, CEO and Co-Founder of Tunisia-based Betacube said, \u201cWe look forward to working with Finastra on this year\u2019s Hack to the Future. The themes and goals align closely with our vision around creating an open and equal fintech industry. It makes perfect sense for us to be involved specifically with mentoring and in providing support to participants, during and post-event, as we&#8217;ve done with previous Hack to the Future and Women in Fintech incubation programs, jointly with Finastra.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Submissions close on April 10, 2022. Winners will be announced at the end of April. Prizes include scholarship programs, cash, and internship opportunities. There is also a special opt-in category for \u2018Best Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DE&amp;I) Submission\u2019, which encourages projects that support this theme. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finastra is also hosting a youth hackathon for 10-18 year olds, encouraging the next generation to help change the world of finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To help drive innovation and explore new ideas sign up to hack <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fintech.devpost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#HackToTheFuture #HackingForGood #Openbydefault<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finastra is leading by example, and has made strides over the last year towards its ambitious goals around Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion.
