About the event

BizHacks is a unique hackathon promoting collaboration between technically skilled programmers and aspiring business leaders to create innovative products and solutions. BizHacks provides a platform for students from all disciplines to experiment with technology with the intention of address real-needs of existing businesses.

Hello,

 

My name is Akash Sharma and I am the Sponsorship Chair of BizHacks, a student-run Hackathon planned at the University of British Columbia, one of the top 40 universities in the world. BizHacks hosts some of the best and brightest students from across the lower mainland of BC to come together to create amazing products and bring to life their ideas.
