Throughout the weekend, over 37 mentors from the Bank of Cyprus, Jinius, Crowdpolicy, academia, and the private sector provided guidance and technical support, helping teams transform their ideas into functional prototypes.

The Bank also noted that among the participants were two high school teams, “demonstrating once again that Fintech and Open Innovation continue to be key drivers of growth for Cyprus’ technological ecosystem.”
