Cape Town’s FinHub Hosts Hackathon with Interledger Foundation
- The hackathon was hosted at the Hasso Plattner School of Design Thinking Africa at UCT.
- Twelve teams from UCT, CPUT, UWC, and Eduvos participated in the competition.
- Team Direla won first place with a QR code-based payment system for low-income users.
The hackathon exemplifies the power of collaborative innovation in addressing real-world financial challenges. By engaging students from diverse disciplines, it not only fosters creativity but also builds a community focused on practical solutions. This model could be replicated in other regions to stimulate local economies and enhance financial inclusion.
