Ahead of Startupbootcamp’s first insurance innovation accelerator programme, which goes live with its first teams in London in January, the company has created a weekend hackathon to get the creative juices flowing.
SBC is offering hackers the opportunity to use blockchain, IoT and wearables APIs from its corporate partners to hack everything from travel, home, car and health insurance.
The programme partners include Admiral, Allianz, Ergo, Momentum, Lloyds Banking, PwC, Route66, and Unipol.
The 48-hour event happening this weekend will see teams offered pitch training and given the opportunity to take part in a table tennis competition.
Prizes are on offer for the best technical solution, the best concept, best design and usability, and the best answer to the brief given.
As well as prizes from the tech partner Intel, there is also a £5,000 cash prize up for grabs.
The event is being held at SBC’s Rainmaking Loft in London. Sign up here.
