FinTech Innovation Collaboration Camp 2026
A negotiation table, not a trophy stage. Real scenarios. Partners who ship.
No resume screen—show how you solve. Strong performers move straight to agreement discussions.
The official application portal and checklist will open soon. Bookmark this page or reach us by email to get on the list.
About
Most contests end on a podium. This program ends with a real cooperation agreement.
We are a software company focused on financial IT, serving banks, brokerages, insurers, and asset managers. We know that shipping in isolation cannot keep pace with modern FinTech.
So we built this platform: real scenarios, de-identified datasets, and targeted incubation resources on our side; hard engineering and inventive solutions on yours.
Whether you are:
There is a track for you—and a clear path to partnership.
Tracks
Three tracks, three partnership lenses, one shared bar for seriousness.
Founding teams and early companies with a product
You already have direction—maybe a prototype or users. We are not optimizing for prize money:
Bring the product. Let the data speak.
Experts, senior developers, architects, practitioners
We publish real business scenarios; you publish solutions. Judges care about domain depth—not only algorithms. Finalists unlock:
Students, early-career builders, people in transition
You may not have years of work experience yet—but you have curiosity. Submit concepts or prototypes and receive:
Online screening, mentor co-creation, and a 48-hour onsite hackathon.
Challenge themes
Directions and examples below; the official brief ships from the organizers.
| Theme | Example problem statements |
|---|---|
| LLMs in finance | Advisory agents, compliance automation, credit decision support |
| Performance and security | Microsecond trading components, privacy-preserving fraud, AML graph databases |
| Data intelligence | Data lineage, customer 360, federated learning, regulatory reporting automation |
| Open banking and SaaS | Embedded finance API gateways, low-code risk rules engines |
| Web3 and digital assets | RWA tokenization, cross-border B2B payment and settlement middleware |
| Open innovation (startup track) | Bring your own project; we assess technical value and business fit |
Partnership mechanics
During the build camp, judges can issue partnership intent tickets at any time. Ticketed teams can enter formal negotiations before finals—decoupled from final rank to reduce good-project churn from a single scoring moment.
We publish outcomes transparently and disclose named partnership intent where applicable.
Why join
Designed for employed builders and founders—privacy, weekends, and long-term deal structures included.
De-identified datasets—flows, defaults, and more—so models train against the shape of production.
Demo Day brings CIO-level buyers and active investors—your pitch is a high-signal product review.
Pseudonymous early rounds and weekend-friendly schedules for employed participants; revenue share or equity participation available for landed projects.
Tickets can drop during the build camp; ticketed teams advance to negotiation without waiting for finals.

Judging
Architecture, novelty, stability, and security posture.
Pain-point alignment and demonstrated domain understanding.
POC constraints, integration effort, commercial and joint-delivery potential.
Complementary skills, velocity, and iteration discipline.
Jury: internal technical leadership, external domain experts, business partnership owners, and investor or incubator partners.
We publish judging outcomes and name partnership intent where it applies.
FAQ
Yes. The engineering and innovation tracks accept solo applicants—no team required.
Materials are covered by an NDA; judging details are not published externally.
Yes. Intent tickets are orthogonal to final rank; a ticket starts negotiation.
Yes, if the team has a product or a crisp commercial plan—student status is not a blocker.
