In November, this signature 24-hour event saw 80 tech-savvy university students teaming up to develop innovative solutions to enhance customers’ lifestyle and travel experience and promote sustainability. Working with industry professionals to refine their ideas, the winning team of five students, Cathay Green, shortlisted from a total of 500 applicants, proposed the use of currency systems and AI algorithms to facilitate sustainable practices and carbon-offsetting. Each team member won a Business Class return ticket to any destination within the Cathay Pacific network; they also shared a total of 100,000 Asia Miles and will have the opportunity to join Cathay Pacific as Digital & IT Summer Interns to further their ideas.
The Cathay Hackathon is part of Cathay’s ongoing commitment to nurturing and developing local talent and promoting aviation, travel lifestyle, sustainability, and tech innovation in Hong Kong.
