FinTech Connect 2017 - Singapore | Fin Tech APAC Connect | 20 September 2017 | Bugis, Singapore, 80 Middle Rd, Singapore 188966

The rise of fintech industry in APAC is breathtaking, and the growth rate in this region is starting to take the lead. The governments of almost all the APAC major markets, such as Singapore, China, India, HK, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, have taken or are ready to take a positive regulatory approach to encourage fintech developments. And this region will be the biggest potential market for fintech investors, startups, technology providers, as well as other players in the coming years.

The potentials of APAC markets are obvious, while there are still many barriers in the way to fully achieve the fintech potentials, such as regulatory innovation, regional cooperation, technology maturity, costs, risk management, and so on. Moreover, the emerging technologies have cornered the incumbents and it becomes more and more urgent for them to find a way out.
