VPBank Technology Hackathon 2024 – an innovative playground for technology talents

DNHN - VPBank Technology Hackathon 2024 is a large and creative technology playground aimed at tech talents, especially young talents graduating from universities in the Information Technology and Data Science groups with excellent academic records.

Following the success of VPBank Cloud Technology Connect Day 2023, VPBank Technology Hackathon 2024 promises to be an attractive playground for tech talents to showcase their creativity and passion in the field of Information Technology (IT) and Data Science (DS). The event is part of the strategic cooperation program between VPBank and its partner Amazon Web Services (AWS).

With the slogan “Conquering technology, building the future”, VPBank Technology Hackathon 2024 is a competition with a new format: players choose a technology challenge set by the Organizing Committee (VPBank Technology Challenge Statement) and develop ideas (Ideate), develop solutions (Develop Prototype) on the AWS technology platform.

The event officially opens for registration from March 18 to April 18, 2024. Players will participate in conquering challenges through the rounds taking place in April and May 2024. Many attractive prizes and official recruitment opportunities at VPBank await tech talents with the best solutions that meet the program’s criteria.

VPBank Technology Hackathon 2024 does not only focus on participants with work experience. The program is open to young talents graduating from universities in the IT and DS groups with excellent academic records. This is an opportunity for young people to experience a professional technology playground, apply their knowledge and skills, and update new technology trends to conquer technology challenges in the banking industry. Throughout the stages of the program, the teams will be accompanied and guided by experts from VPBank and AWS.

Organised for the first time with a completely new scale and format, VPBank Technology Hackathon 2024 is a creative technology playground for VPBank to connect with experts, experienced personnel, professionals, and young talents in the fields of IT, DS, and cybersecurity.

“Through the program, we want to introduce the dynamic and creative working environment at VPBank, where tech talents have the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and realise their ideas on a modern technology platform. This event once again affirms VPBank’s determination and interest, especially in attracting tech talents and developing resources ready to accelerate in the digital transformation race,” shared a VPBank representative.

In 2023, VPBank signed a strategic cooperation agreement with AWS and successfully co-organised the VPBank Cloud Technology Connect Day Workshop, attracting the participation of nearly 200 IT engineers and many leading experts in the field of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI). The event consisted of two main activities: AWS GameDay with VPBank (Technology Competition) and the Learn & Networking workshop, providing an interesting experience, and helping participants to access more skills and experience in cloud computing and AI.

The strategic cooperation with AWS helps VPBank elevate digital banking technology, promote the development of new digital products/services, and bring customers the best experience. At the same time, it enhances the capacity of existing IT resources, and attracts, and creates a source of young tech talents through large playgrounds such as the VPBank Technology Hackathon 2024.
