  Ulster Bank Hackathon

  
  

  Dogpatch Labs, Dublin

  
  

  Ulster Bank will gather developers, coders, designers, entrepreneurs and investors, to join Ireland’s only banking Hackathon from 17th to 19th February in partnership with Dogpatch Labs. Participants will come up with ideas which are quickly ‘hacked’ together to create operable and viable propositions to benefit customers.  

  Across the three days, participants will work in teams to deliver working prototypes around themes of financial services to enable ‘open banking’. The Hackathon will culminate in pitches to the judging panel which comprises Patrick Eltridge, RBS CIO, Ciaran Coyle, Ulster Bank Chief Administrative Officer, Patrick Walsh, Dogpatch Labs MD, David Erixon, Head of Digital and Customer Innovation at Ulster Bank, and also to senior business leaders. People can attend alone or with a team and can bring ideas that they’d like to pitch or join someone whose pitch interests them.

  Participants will have access to a host of supports at Dogpatch Labs to help them to hone creative, but also presentation skills. Engineers will help teams with technical queries, and attendees will also benefit from access to rich and wider ranging APIs*.

  Mentors from the industry and beyond will guide participants through the conception and build of their ideas, and pitching workshops will help them to present their solutions to potential investors in the best possible way.

  Prizes include:
  –          Mentoring for the winners from Ulster Bank and Dogpatch Labs
  –         X Box One S Bundle
  –          Beats Solo 3 Wireless Headphones
  –          Intel NUC
  –          Google Pixel C
  –          There will also be spot prizes throughout the weekend
