The thematic areas of this year’s competition are:
• Fintech

In the context of the Competition, the first three (3) proposals receive cash prizes of €20,000, €12,000, €8,000 respectively, after evaluation by University Professors and NBG executives. In addition to the prizes of the main Competition, we are launching a new Special Prize category for proposals and solutions in Prop Tech, in the amount of €4,000, in collaboration with Uniko and continue with prizes of up to five Special Financial Empowerment Awards totalling up to €10,000, to empower households in their financial decisions, in the context of the ENNOIA initiative.
The first ten winning teams receive significant publicity and mentoring by the Bank's team. In the case of shortlisted proposals, the potential for partnership with the Bank, use of their products and services, and participation by NBG in their share capital are all explored.
