The 2022 Women in FinTech Hackathon has ended with women being urged to tap into the broader mobile ecosystem and use it to develop solutions that will transform the entire African continent.  

The event, sponsored by HiPipo, was closed by the Minister of State for Information, Communications and Technology, Joyce Nabbosa Ssebugwawo.

The hackathon culminated into the Women in FinTech summit on Friday (September 16), where the best performing teams and individuals from across East Africa were announced and receive their share of the $10,000 collective prize money. The best teams qualified for the Women in FinTech Incubator program that will run until January 2023.
