This close relationship is demonstrated by the fact that Hackathon Stuttgart is supported by financial industry partners as well as industrial partners in recent years.
To strenghthen Stuttgart as a financial and economic center we want to push forward this relationship. We believe that the success of digitalization comes from an integration of processes across the value chain. We are proud to reference to several success stories like company start-ups in the finance sector emerging from our paticipation in the Hackathon Stuttgart.

The core of Fintech is to marry together technology and finance, by challenging traditional business models across banking, insurance and trading.
