HK to host Fintech Week (21.9.2016)

Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Prof KC Chan:
I know some of our stakeholders are in the process of forming a fresh industry association to act as an independent, private sector-led platform in Hong Kong to serve all the Fintech verticals through promoting our position as a Fintech hub, to attract and nurture talents, and to be a sounding board of common issues in the industry. The Government very much welcomes this initiative. And Invest Hong Kong’s dedicated Fintech team will no doubt look forward to working closely with all new and existing industry bodies to provide support to financial institutions, start-ups and innovators in the local Fintech sector.

And Hong Kong Inc can demonstrate our spirit in a few weeks’ time, when Invest Hong Kong and its Fintech team will organise Hong Kong’s first Fintech Week during 7 to 11 November. The highlight of the Fintech Week is Finovate Asia on 8 November, where this one-of-a-kind demo-only Fintech conference will present the newest and hottest innovations made from and for the Asian market and around the globe. Our regulators, professional Fintech event organisers and industry organisations will also develop insightful conferences and networking events during the Fintech Week.

So please do mark your diary, and go to www.hongkong-fintech.hk. You can get updates on exciting developments, not only about the Fintech Week in November but also the robust and exciting Fintech sector in Hong Kong that you have helped build and made prosperous. ()
