Bulgarian Fintech Association (BFA) and Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at Sofia University, supported by Paysafe, organize a Fintech Hackathon “From Zero To Fintech”. The hackathon is the logical next step of the Master’s degree program in Finance and Investments at Sofia University. It will be held in English from 6 - 14 March and will provide the participants with a series of workshops, conducted by some of the most prominent specialists in the field of marketing, sales, and investments in Fintech solutions in Bulgaria and Europe.
Legal experts will touch on regulations and investors will shed light on financing and access to venture capital. The event will be fully in English and is open to anyone interested in the field of digital finance. The participants in the hackathon will get a chance to solve real-life Fintech cases, propose and develop new Fintech solutions, and test their ideas with ‘dummy data’ via Iris PSD 2 HUB.
All Fintech ideas created and developed during the Fintech hackathon will be evaluated and the best will be awarded prizes which will enable them to go fast on the market. During the evaluation process on the last day of the event - 14th March, we will have a 3-hour conference in which speakers will be physically present in a studio, from which we will live stream. The topics of the conference will be the future of Fintech with discussions of Brexit and its impact on digital financial services provided around the EU. “From Zero To Fintech” initiative has been widely supported by academic institutions and organizations among which the Technical University – Sofia, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at Sofia University, Telerik Academy, SoftUni as well as by a couple of IT communities such as Data Science Society Bulgaria and Coding Girls – Bulgaria.
