The Governor Conveys His Appreciation

Dr. Ernest Addison, the governor of the Bank of Ghana, conveyed his appreciation for the enthusiastic response from creative minds and innovators from across countries and continents. Speaking at the ceremony, he expressed, “This is the maiden hackathon organized by the Bank of Ghana, and we are glad that it has received an overwhelming response from enthusiastic creative minds and innovators across countries and continents.”

As the October 20, 2023 deadline for the submission of the Innovation Concept Notes (ICN) approached, a staggering 88 ICNs flooded in. Subsequently, the field was narrowed down to 68 for the pitch day.

Undaunted by the challenge, 62 participants embraced the opportunity to pitch their visionary solutions. Post the intense Pitch Day, a select group of 10 innovations emerged as the cream of the crop, earning the right to progress to the prestigious Demonstration Day.

As the top 10 innovations prepare to take center stage on Demonstration Day, anticipation builds not only for the unveiling of cutting-edge solutions but for the ripple effect these advancements will create in the broader landscape of financial technology.

The success of this inaugural hackathon lays a robust foundation for future editions, promising a continued fusion of creativity and technology that will propel Ghana into the forefront of the global digital economy.

In essence, the e-Cedi hackathon became a pivotal moment, not just for the victors at Forward Titans but for the entire landscape of digital innovation in Ghana.
