Slush GIA 2017 Pitching Competition

Last year we organized Slush GIA local competition for the first time which was a huge success. Two of our three finalists were selected by the Helsinki selection team who received an opportunity to attend Slush Global Impact Accelerator in Helsinki. There they got a chance to be part of bootcamp where they attended the skills workshops and capacity building with leaders from all around the world. They were among the 2,300 startups gathered at Slush to take their companies to the next level. Nearly 6,000 investor–startup meetings, mostly pre-booked online, took place. The registration is open for Slush GIA 2017 Pitching Competition. For more info http://events.yipl.com.np/slushgia2017

Like previous years YoungInnovations is supporting in this year bootcamp as well by providing valuable mentor ship, knowledge sharing and much more.

Knowledge Sharing in Reactive Programming

Today there is a knowledge sharing session on the reactive programming ReactiveX from Rakeeb Rajbhandari and me. RxJava has been an integral part of android development for quite a while here at YoungInnovations. Its usefulness has been so great that we, android team want to give a taste of reactive approach to other colleagues. The session will be focused on why reactive programming is the big thing and how its gonna make life of a developer easier. See you all in the session.
