Hackathon Programme
Run a 2-day hackathon your whole organisation will remember.
A complete, ready-to-run programme on the NayaOne platform, environments live in minutes, vendors pre-integrated, synthetic data loaded. Bring the teams; we bring everything else.
In practice
A UK banking group ran one across 15 engineering teams.
45 engineers explored digital identity and tokenisation use cases in a secure, pre-configured environment, with zero setup overhead on their side and post-event continuity built in.

Thank you for your hard work, enthusiasm and commitment, and I am excited to see where these innovations will lead us.
Shout out also to our partners Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NayaOne.

More than a hackathon, a repeatable adoption engine.
A hackathon gets people building. The platform underneath is what turns two days of energy into a pipeline of POCs that keep moving after everyone goes home.
Run it on packaged use cases tailored to your teams, so it lands as serious innovation work, not a one-off side event that gets pigeonholed.
