Cyberport start-ups claim 14 wins at the FinTech Awards 2018

Cyberport’s FinTech start-ups have done it again! At the FinTech Awards 2018, 14 Cyberport FinTech companies and start-ups outperformed a bevy of highly competitive contenders and bagged 14 awards across nine categories, including insurance, consumer payments initiative, wealth investment and management, lending, FX/payment solutions, artificial intelligence, blockchain solutions, cybersecurity/anti-fraud, and “universities”.

Nearly 100 entries were submitted to the competition; out of which 45 winners were selected by a panel of judges based on five judging criteria of innovation and creativity, functionality, marketability, benefits, and impact. The judges were all professionals of the FinTech and ICT industry, consisting of members from relevant industry and professional associations, companies, educational institutions, and government bodies.

Peter Yan, CEO of Cyberport, said: “It is heartening to see Cyberport’s FinTech companies and start-ups accomplish such remarkable results at the FinTech Awards 2018 and that their innovations span such a wide range of FinTech domains. The awards are a recognition of the innovative spirit and work of the winners; they are also an acknowledgement of Cyberport’s achievements in promoting FinTech development and in nurturing talent for the digital tech industry.”

Mr Yan pledged that Cyberport will continue to strengthen its cooperation with global financial industry partners, regulators and stakeholders and to springboard more Hong Kong FinTech and new economy companies to Asia and other markets across the world.
