There will be a mix of physical events in selected cities and digital events. Twenty seven international pavilions will also champion their country or region’s innovations via digital showcases.
Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief FinTech Officer of MAS, said,
“We are proud to have built an online event platform that continues to serve as a meeting point for the global fintech community and a hive for business activity when the industry needs it the most. In addition to the online city experience, we have worked with select global satellite event partners to host physical events.
By leveraging on the concerted efforts of the teams within MAS, Enterprise Singapore and SingEx, and partners including Accenture, Microsoft and Pico Art International, SFF x SWITCH is now another step closer to realising our vision of a global platform for knowledge sharing, where meaningful connections are made and better ideas are built for the financial services and technology community.”
