What is MCB InovApp Challenge

The MCB InovApp Challenge is an ultimate hackathon event that invites the most brilliant minds – including start-ups, students, and SMEs – to showcase their creativity, innovation, and tech skills in designing next-gen solutions for the Mauritian banking sector and beyond.

Over a fun-packed weekend, you'll work in teams to develop cutting-edge solutions that have the power to transform the banking industry and make a positive impact on society. Not only will you get to flex your tech muscles and impress the judges, but you'll also have the chance to network and collaborate with like-minded individuals who share your passion for innovation.

At InovApp, you'll have 24 hours to work tirelessly on your hack before presenting it to the judges. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your talents and hone your skills.

And the best part? You own your ideas!

So, are you ready to rise to the challenge and create the next big thing? Register now for the most exhilarating hackathon experience of your life!

theme

This year's theme :

Ecosystem banking - Key to future value creation

Under this “Ecosystem Banking” theme, Inovapp 3.0 aims to find innovative solutions that cater to three main challenges areas:

1

The Beyond Banking Opportunity

2

The Connected Future

3

Innovating for a Sustainable Tomorrow

Summary:

Ecosystems are the cornerstone of Future Banking.
Given that customers approach banks to achieve a purpose or goal, banks must build the capability to meet changing, end-to-end needs through a single platform instead of just offering siloed services without considering the end-purpose.
Accomplishing this will require banks to build purpose-driven banking ecosystems that offer end-to-end services and deliver value beyond banking.

Your mission will be to design an innovative solution, which will allow MCB to not just meet the needs of its customers, but anticipate and exceed them in one of the above challenge areas.
