[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] Hana Card announced on the 9th that it held the 'Hana Card Big Data Hackathon' competition as part of nurturing big data talent.

This competition, introduced for the first time this year, was planned to enhance employees' digital knowledge and big data technical analysis skills. Over two days, from the 1st to the 2nd, one representative team from each business division participated, with a total of eight teams competing.

Participants learned data analysis programs such as Python through pre-competition training and conducted rehearsals. In the main competition, under the theme of 'Developing a Future Apartment Actual Transaction Price Prediction Model,' they analyzed data within a specific time and developed their own big data modeling to complete the deliverables.

The top two teams with excellent results were awarded a total prize of 3 million KRW and given priority selection opportunities for Hana Financial Group's core digital talent development program, with awards presented directly by President Jang Kyung-hoon.

Park Sun-min, Manager of the Talent Development Department at Hana Card, who planned this competition, said, "The more employees participate directly and verify the differences in their capabilities, the clearer the educational outcomes become," adding, "We will continue to enhance employees' digital capabilities through new methods of digital education."

Meanwhile, under the broad direction of digital transformation, Hana Card is attempting diverse and innovative digital education to transcend the boundaries of the financial industry. Hana Card Digital University (HDU) is a practical digital talent training center where participants can choose between big data expert and digital business expert courses and receive step-by-step education. Established as a representative digital education program, HDU has produced about 100 graduates, including the third graduating class this year. Additionally, for the first time among domestic card companies, Hana Card has been operating 'Co-creation' with Visa, a global credit card brand, for three years, solving on-site issues through digital methodologies.
