Innopoly 2021

As part of FinTech Day at Innopoly 2021 on 29 October 2021, we discussed with various industry experts on topics like Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Artificial Intelligence in Financial Markets, and Teaching FinTech through gamification. There will also be an E-Bazaar and an Industry Sharing on how the future players of the FinTech industry are nurtured.

As the Ecosystem Partner for the FinTech day on Day 2 of LIT DISCOvery 2021, the Director of The Sandbox Tan Ching Ching moderated the panel discussion session “Pivoting Into FinTech: What Can I Bring To The Table” with our SFYC President, Charlie Angriawan being one of the panelist. 

We were honoured to host guest speakers from Prudential Singapore, Ms Magdalene Loh, Senior Vice-President and Head of Innovation, and J.P. Morgan Singapore, Ms Irene Lim, Executive Director. Join Chris Lim and Andralynn Tan, the Treasurer and Vice President of SFYC as they discuss on how youths are the future of FinTech.

The Singapore FinTech Youth Chapter is a youth community affiliated to the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) that enables youths with interest in FinTech to be connected to the FinTech community locally and overseas, as well as gain a deeper understanding and access to FinTech careers and opportunities locally and globally. 

PolyFinTech 100 continues to inspire the next generation of youths about FinTech through its annual API Hackathon. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the hackathon was hosted virtually. Objective of this hackathon is to nurture FinTech talent to meet the rapidly changing needs of the financial services sector. Students from the 5 local polytechnics were invited to develop FinTech prototypes using Open APIs from the industry to address real world problem statements, such as more efficient GST refunds for tourists, AI-based e-payment service for hawker centres, peer-to-peer micro-lending platform for students, etc. Finalist will get a chance to showcase their ideas at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2021.
