MeOut Group, in cooperation with StartITup Győr, hosted an international hackathon - HackMeOut in Tbilisi on June 23-26, in which teams from eight participating countries worked on innovative, technological solutions for financial services.

It should be noted that holding the event in Georgia was made possible by the cooperation of the Georgian Innovation and Technology Agency and Startup Georgia.
