Welcome to GradVentures 2025
HSBC and Capgemini are thrilled to launch GradVentures 2025 where new graduates will have the chance to build solutions at the speed of a startup.
New grads across HSBC's global ecosystem will come together to design and build real-world MVPs that address high-impact business challenges sourced directly from leaders. The most compelling solutions may even be selected for post-hackathon pilots!
This is your chance to experiment with enterprise-grade tools from AWS, Google, and Microsoft to build AI-powered solutions.
We're excited to see what you'll build!
