Biometric Hackathon

About the Biometric Hackathon

Your face is more than identity, it’s innovation. Join a 24-hour challenge to shape the future of payments, access, and security.

You’ve probably noticed it already, but facial recognition is everywhere. From phones and airports to security apps and payments.

Now it’s your turn to push this technology forward.

You bring the innovation and we’ll provide the APIs, docs, and starter templates.

Your mission: Create an app where your face is your identity key, whether it’s used for payments at a festival, fare validation on public transport, café orders, or event check-ins.

You’ve got 24 hours, a team, and an idea. The rest is just code and imagination.

What You’ll Be Building

As part of the hackathon, you’ll develop an application that uses SecureID, our in-house facial recognition platform, to bring biometric innovation into everyday life. Whether it’s for seamless payments, identity verification, or smart access - your face becomes the key. You’ll be guided by the SecureID ecosystem diagram, which maps out real-world use cases you can build on or combine in creative ways.
