About Us

Under Indonesia’s G20 Presidency, Bank Indonesia (BI), together with the Bank for International Settlements Innovation Hub (BISIH), is launching a G20 TechSprint to solicit innovative global technological solutions to catalyse developments in wholesale and retail Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

This is the third edition of the G20 TechSprint, an annual longform hackathon organised under the banner of the G20 to seek out best-in-class technological innovations aimed at addressing high priority areas of interest amongst the global community.

The G20 TechSprint 2022 challenges the international community of innovators, entrepreneurs, start-uppers, changemakers, creators, developers, data scientists, designers, digital marketing and communication experts who are passionate about creating extraordinary impact by solving one of three operational problems in the field of CBDCs

On 12 July 2022, as part of the Indonesia Digital Economy and Finance Festival (FEKDI) held in Bali ahead of the G20 meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors, shortlisted teams will demonstrate their in-development solutions to national authorities and invited experts at a specially convened Midpoint Event. Teams will also participate in a CBDC Masterclass to glean practical insights into some of the CBDC experiments underway at the BIS Innovation Hub.

Problem Statements

Three problem statement categories, representing different functional objectives of CBDCs have been proposed for this year's G20 TechSprint.

Within each of the categories, a Main Problem Statement has been identified together with two Optional (bonus) Problem Statements. These were developed in consultation with the G20 and represent common high priority gaps and opportunities where innovative technology solutions in the CBDC space and sought.

Teams will need to register for one of the categories (either A, B or C) and submit proposals that addresses the Main Problem Statement. In addition, teams may also submit proposals to address the additional functionalities listed in either or both of the Optional Problem Statements.

Teams that successfully address the Optional Problem Statements will be awarded with bonus scores. However teams that do not address the Main Problem Statement and only the Optional Problem Statements will be disqualified.
