Overview

Join Novathon #withPBZ, a 24-hour innovative marathon to create cutting-edge applications for responsive, mobile and branch banking!

In 2016, Intesa Sanpaolo Group with its Innovation Center jointly launched an event called Novathon with the aim to develop cutting-edge application that would ultimately make the use of banking services and products easier. After the successful first edition of the event held in Budapest, the organizers decided to move this innovative competition to Croatia and to organize Novathon #withPBZ competition in collaboration with the Croatian subsidiary of the Group – Privredna Banka Zagreb. CROZ is a gold partner on the project thanks to its experience in organization of similar coding competitions, like CodeQuest, and the existing successful collaboration with PBZ.

Ivan Krnić from CROZ has highlighted the great potential of the Novathon #withPBZ competition: “New EU regulations which are liberating the financial market also bring something else to table – a chance to develop new innovative software solutions. The real, radical, business changes only come out when we think outside of the box and when we analyse the current limitations. Such idea competitions provide a great environment which encourages experimenting, needed for those big changes.”
