NEW FOR 2026
Move beyond AI theory and build practical treasury use cases that simplify day-to-day operations.
During this training, you'll build three example AI solutions based on real treasury challenges to see how AI can help automate tasks and improve the way treasury teams work. At the end of the event, teams usually present their solutions to judges, who evaluate them based on criteria such as innovation, impact, feasibility, and presentation quality.
The use cases of the training will be:
- cash management
- bank account management
- FX hedging.
What is a Hackathon?
A hackathon is a time-limited event where individuals or teams collaborate intensively to create innovative solutions to a specific challenge or problem. Participants typically work over a period ranging from a few hours to several days to design, build, and present a prototype, product, service, or idea.
Hackathons are commonly used to:
- encourage creativity and innovation
- solve real-world problems
- develop new products or features
- foster teamwork and learning
- showcase skills and ideas.
