On June 7th, 2024, UK CBT engaged with the next generation of fintech innovators at the Stoado FinTech Challenge, held in collaboration with the University of Birmingham FinTech Society. Bringing together over 80 students, the event provided a platform to tackle real-world challenges in blockchain technology and digital security.

‍

Centred around Stoado—a blockchain-based marketplace designed to combat fraud—participants worked on key areas such as Technical Development, User Experience and Design, Market Research, and Compliance. The challenge also offered a valuable networking opportunity, with professionals from Goldman Sachs, Santander, EY, Capco, Peppa.io, and techUK sharing industry insights.

By applying their skills to practical use cases, students explored how emerging technologies can enhance security in digital marketplaces. UK CBT remains committed to fostering innovation in blockchain and fintech, supporting initiatives that bridge the gap between academia and industry.
