Symbioticon 20/21

digital only

Identify relevant trends, develop real #gamechanger ideas and win up to €32,000! That was our call for participants. In addition to the Hackathon of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, the fifth edition of Symbioticon 20/21 also offered an exciting supporting program with top-class keynotes and plenty of space for networking. Here on the platform visitors found exciting insights and the opportunity to support their favorite teams directly online.

Hackathon

The motto #Gamechanger gave it away: Lots of new and exciting changes awaited the teams at this Symbioticon - all digital and expanded to several levels. The challenge was to come up with ideas that were bold enough to try something out, offer real added value for Sparkasse customers, and thus become a #gamechanger in their own right.

IMPULSES & INSPIRATION

Within the framework of the competition, all online viewers were able to watch exciting keynotes, share ideas and network. We focussed on three topics that we considered particularly relevant: Green Finance, New Work and All Digital.

INTERACTION

You were able to follow the digital hackathon up close via our online platform. The interaction between the participants and the Sparkasse, partners and audience also ran via our platform. This created the opportunity to experience and interact with the teams and their ideas at any time and to vote for the best competition ideas.

Level Up

Step by Step

In this Symbioticon, the teams went through three different levels and competed against each other in six tracks, each with different challenges. In the first level, the focus was on the idea, in the second on user-centricity. In the final level 'Battle of the Tracks' the teams presented their ideas at the highest level of technical maturity we have ever seen at a Symbioticon.

Hackathon

Gamification

How the games began

To get the necessary spice into the hackathon, we used different mechanics to make it as exciting as possible. Starting with the different time periods of the levels, up to the badges. They were a fundamental pillar of this hackathon, because they motivated our participants to stay in touch with the jury and spectators. That is how the teams earned their badges, convinced the crowd, the jury and went for gold.
