Design Thinking
Hackathons
We organize hackathons where we attract the best developers to solve the challenges of your company. Teams work with real anonymized data of your business using BigData, AI, ML, blockchain and other technologies depending on each specific task.
Innovation Lab is created by Imaguru Startup Hub with the participation of leaders that are currently working on top global firms. Each week participants unlock video lectures, cases and complete useful tasks. Each task moves participants to finalising the Innovation Master-Plan which will enable them to successfully implement innovations at the corporations right the next days after completing the programme and receiving the certificate
Design Thinking is an approach that can be applied by anyone who is interested in improving or inventing a given product, service, process, experience, or strategy. We believe that innovation and problem solving is a skill that can be learned and that is of importance in all aspects of business and can be plugged into the careers.
We develop startup companies from the banking sector, retail, legal, travel, delivery and many others.
Our Cases
Priorbank
Together with Priorbank (Raiffeisen Bank group), we organized the FinTech Hackathon. The bank selected teams which were accelerated in a corporate accelerator in Vienna.
VISA
Together with VISA, we organized She’s Next online hackathon to create new startups with women founders. The winner of the hackathon is now raising the next round of investment.
EPAM
We helped EPAM organize a hackathon to demonstrate the company's solutions to the customer. The hackathon was international: employees of the company from different countries and cities took part in it. Thus, the hackathon has also become an excellent presentation and team building platform.
A1
We organized a corporate hackathon for A1 in Belarus when A1 acquired a Belarusian telecommunications company and its employees became part of A1. The hackathon helped to organize team building and strengthen the overall corporate culture, as well as solutions for new products that were implemented in the company.
MENU
Международная компания MENU с офисами в Армении и Беларуси выставила свою задачу на открытый дататон - команды хакатона помогли выделить сегмент пользователей для которого компанией был предложен отдельный пакет на платформе, что увеличило их лояльность.
БПС-Сбербанк
С белорусской “дочкой” Сбербанка мы организовали корпоративный хакатон, на котором были выставлены задачи с датасетами для решения компандами из data scientists. Банк получил несколько интересных решений и команду талантов, которую “переманил” для работы в Банке.
