About the project
Hackcelerator was a fintech hackathon run with BRB Bank and Amity University and supported by IT Community of Uzbekistan. It ran offline for a full month.
More than 200 teams built fintech products on site at Amity University and brought them to the demo day at BRB Bank. Students, a bank and industry experts spent a month on the same problems, which is the kind of collaboration the program was built for.
