ICC AND NIUM LAUNCH “NEXT IN”
Dubai (MNP) International Cricket Council (ICC) and official fintech infrastructure partner and Modern Money Movement platform, Nium, today announced the launch of “Next In”, a global hackathon open to all cricket-loving technologists. The hackathon invites and challenges tech-savvy fans to create solutions that improve the digital cricket fan experience.
A first for the ICC, “Next In” asks technologists to combine their passion for cricket with their love for innovation. Entries should explore ground-breaking ways to engage younger cricket fans and should merge digital tools to identify solutions to challenges that cricket fans face.
For the ICC this initiative drives deeper fan engagement and is in line with its global growth strategy to bring fans closer to the game. Web3, Metaverse and Virtual Reality (VR) are technologies driving changes in how fans experience cricket, and this hackathon provides a global opportunity for the ICC’s community of sport and technology innovators to create new and improved fan engagement experiences for the global game of cricket.
