iFX Hack 2026: 24-hour AWS-powered fintech hackathon kicks off iFX EXPO in Limassol

Limassol is hosting one of the online trading industry's largest international gatherings this week, as iFX EXPO International 2026 brings brokers, fintech firms, liquidity providers, payments companies and digital asset specialists to Cyprus. The three-day event runs from June 16 to 18 at City of Dreams Mediterranean and is expected to draw more than 6,500 attendees, over 200 exhibitors and more than 100 speakers.

Ahead of the main expo, organisers held iFX Hack 2026, a 24-hour trading and fintech hackathon powered by AWS, at the University of Limassol on June 13 and 14. The hackathon brought together developers, students, fintech professionals, entrepreneurs, traders and designers, with challenges focused on AI and intelligent trading, financial security, fraud prevention and user experience.

Winning teams were expected to receive recognition during iFX EXPO International 2026, giving participants direct exposure to brokers, fintech companies, investors and financial services professionals attending the Limassol event. The conference programme also features CySEC Chairman George Theocharides and sessions on tokenisation, global payments and next-generation technology stacks.
