Join us for Hack at AWS Builders, a hands-on hackathon hosted at AWS JFK27 in New York! This event is your chance to innovate, collaborate, and build with FINOS open-source projects like ORB, Fluxnova, CALM, AI Governance Framework, Common Clouds Control, and more.

Whether you're a developer, financial technologist, or open-source enthusiast, this is your opportunity to solve real-world challenges in financial services using Governance as Code, workflow automation, or cloud-native tools. Bring your ideas, team up with peers, and create solutions that push the boundaries of fintech innovation.

The Challenge

Build a proof-of-concept, tool, or integration that leverages at least one FINOS open-source project. Your solution can address:

  1. High Performance Computing (e.g., ORB for financial object modeling).
  2. Automating compliance (e.g., with CALM or AI Governance Framework).
  3. Streamlining workflows (e.g., using Fluxnova for BPMN-based processes).
  4. Cloud governance (e.g., Common Clouds Control for multi-cloud policy management).
  5. Or any other use case tied to FINOS projects!
