Wema Bank deploys Hackaholics March 29

As part of its commitment to providing efficient solutions to boost Nigeria’s technology sector, Wema Bank is set to launch Hackaholics, its version of hackathon, on March 29 and 30, 2019.

Hackathons, established in 1945, are tech projects that bring together software developers and other digital creators to design solutions for everyday challenges.

Every successful hackathon harvests new solutions that drive business ideas and scale the heights of technology in today’s world.

With Hackaholics, Wema Bank will pull together start-ups and young tech professionals to develop digital solutions that will alleviate financial, institutional and social challenges.

According to a statement made available to The Guardian, participants will be required to analyse the given problem areas, strategise, brainstorm and develop solutions that will be screened by a reliable team of judges.

The goal, the bank added, is to avail innovators, creative thinkers and developers the opportunity to convert visionary concepts into winning solutions, which will be nurtured into marketable products.
