READY TO BUILD ENTREPRENEURIAL FINTECH SOLUTIONS?

A 10-Day FinTech Startup Bootcamp

August 23 – September 2, 2023

It’s not a bootcamp if it’s not intense.

The MIT Entrepreneurship & FinTech Integrator is

a FinTech adventure that will catapult your skillsets!

MEFTI is a FinTech venture-building bootcamp for MIT and Hong Kong students who are ready to make industry impact. Students from MIT and universities in Hong Kong will form teams, tackle real-world industry challenges, and build a FinTech venture pitch with a viable business model. In this intensive experience, you will:

Learn about emerging trends across different FinTech sectors
Gain insights on how the financial services industry has been transformed
Understand how frontier technologies, including distributed ledger technology and artificial intelligence, are redefining business processes and changing the future of industries
Understand the jurisdictional advantages of Hong Kong as a leading FinTech hub from regulatory, technology and domain perspectives
Visit emerging startups and companies and interact with seasoned industry executives from the Greater Bay Area (China)
Immerse in a comprehensive entrepreneurship program and build a viable business plan and prototype to present your FinTech idea to a panel of judges and audience

We cover program expenses, but don’t let that be the reason you apply — this is not edu-tourism. MEFTI is a life-changing experience. Join us if you are ready to unleash your inner FinTech entrepreneur!
