Prepare to unleash your creativity and technical prowess in a weekend-long Bankathon sponsored by CIH Bank, right here on campus from November 1-3. This event promises hands-on experience, invaluable mentorship, and some thrilling prizes for those with a passion for innovation. Mark your calendars, form your teams, and get ready to dive into the world of Artificial Intelligence and fintech with some of the best mentors in the industry.
Exclusive Mentorship on AI Innovation in Banking Imagine a world where Morocco becomes cashless by the 2030 World Cup. This weekend, you’ll explore groundbreaking ideas to make that vision a reality. With 10 top mentors from CIH Bank, you’ll receive personalized coaching to transform your ideas into practical solutions—how to make everyday banking simpler, safer, and smarter. The goal? Picture your grandparents using a phone for every transaction, without the hassle of cash or cards.
Career Opportunities and Networking Participating in the Bankathon could open doors to an internship or even an entry-level job with CIH Bank. Many of last year’s participants are now working in CIH’s dynamic innovation lab in Casablanca. This is more than a competition; it’s a career-launching opportunity!
Exciting Prizes and Recognition Beyond gaining new skills and connections, the winning team members will go home with amazing tech prizes: an iPad, an Apple Watch, or AirPods. Additionally, winners will enjoy a dinner with two CIH Board Members at a top-notch restaurant in Casablanca—an invaluable chance to share ideas and gain insights from the best in the business.
Here’s what you need to do to join the action:
Form Your Team of 3
While it’s ideal to have a mix from different schools (SSE, SBA, SSSAH), a balanced team is encouraged but not mandatory.
