Swiss Re and IBM are joining forces to offer a World Wide Hackathon!
Swiss Re's reputation as a leader in the insurance industry is not by chance. As a company, we are passionate about attracting and developing talent, and sparking innovation throughout the industry. We strongly believe in the power of innovation and are continually working to promote this culture within our company.
As a result, Swiss Re is joining forces with technology leader IBM to co-host a worldwide hackathon event! The event will take place in two major hubs, New York City and Bangalore, India (date TBD). Talented designers and developers who have a passion for creating user-based apps, utilizing data science, and harnessing cognitive technology are all invited to participate and compete for a grand cash prize of $10,000!
The challenge: Teams of up to 5 persons will have a total of 24 hours to develop a new web or mobile app, centered on the theme "My Personal Risk Advisor" (See "The Challenge" tab for more details).
The catch: Hackers will have the opportunity to work with IBM's own cloud platform; IBM Bluemix.
Apps developed must utilize at least one Watson cognitive component available in Bluemix.
The New York event will take place at Rise NY in NYC on Saturday, December 5th and Sunday, December 6th. Sign up for this amazing opportunity now! Registration closes Wednesday, December 2nd.
