Seoul Fintech Lab and Singapore Fintech Association Ends ‘Seoul Fintech Meet’ Successfully
Summary
It was a meaningful event to introduce Korea’s fintech startups dreaming for global market entry through video conferencing, while face-to-face networking has been disabled due to the spread of COVID-19. In their welcoming speeches, Managing Director HoHyun Ko of SFL and President Chia Hock Lai of SFA promised to provide every support necessary in the information exchange and growth of fintech startups in Seoul and Singapore. This city state holds significance as companies that have entered this market can expand their business across Southeast Asia,” said HoHyun Ko, Managing Director of SFL. The management philosophy of 800m, an insure-tech startup, reflects the experience of the company’s founder and CEO performing as an insurance planner for over ten years. In October 2019, the Lab moved its office to Seouls Yoido so that it can raise its competitiveness by strengthening interactions with financial firms in the area.
