UN-Habitat Hack Day
The UN-Habitat Hack Day of El Salvador was developed at the end of 2013 with the theme of "Youth for Financial Inclusion". About 80 young people from 18 to 25 years participated in it. For 36 hours the participants developed a functional app for mobile payments and new transfers from cell phones. The winning team received a $2000 prize and the ability to turn their idea into a commercial product.
