BOCHK Challenge 2023

Background:

The BOCHK Challenge 2023 is a fintech innovation case challenge hosted by the Bank of China (Hong Kong) and co-organized by Huawei, Microsoft, HKPC, and HKMA-ASTRI Fintech Innovation Hub. The challenge aimed to provide a platform for young innovators to showcase their creative ideas and foster an environment of creativity. The theme this year was “Pioneering in Technology, Ignite the Future”, which covered five major technological disciplines, including Insurtech, Investech, Fintech, Regtech, and Greentech.

The challenge consisted of two rounds, starting with the proposal submission.

Selected teams were required to submit presentation materials and pitch their ideas to the panel of judges and peers on-site. The BOCHK Challenge 2023 provided a great opportunity for young innovators to unleash their creative prowess and spark novel ideas that could shape the future of technology.
