HACKATHON CHALLENGE
Your challenge is to wake up decision-makers in the finance sector and show that now is the time to act and find out how quantum and other technologies could be leveraged to enhance financial operations and the financial landscape overall. Your solution for this challenge can be a concept presentation, a concept and a prototype, an application, a quantum model, or something else! The focus should be on visualising the still unlocked opportunities for creating a sustainable finance quantum era. This might involve creating new tools or applications that facilitate collaboration, productivity, maintenance, support or communication in the Metaverse; exploring innovative business models that leverage the unique opportunities of this emerging platform; or developing new approaches to education, training, or skill development that take advantage of the immersive, interactive nature of the Metaverse. Your project may address some of the key concerns and opportunities facing digital workers in the Metaverse, such as issues related to privacy, security, digital identity, virtual presence, and accessibility. You are encouraged to think creatively and outside the box and to draw on a wide range of disciplines and technologies -- including virtual and augmented reality, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction. Visit the challenge page to see a few examples on solution areas you could focus on, to give you some inspiration and ideas for your project: https://new.ultrahack.org/hackathons/hanken-quantum-hackathon-2023 However, you are not limited to only these approaches!
