The Asset Management Hackathon is co-organized by Professor Russ Goyenko of McGill University and Claude Perron, President of FIAM. Combining academic excellence with industry insight, they’ve built a platform where data science, finance, and innovation converge.
Their goal? To challenge the next generation of thinkers and give them the tools—and the stage—to shine.
