The financial industry is going through significant transformation. Fintech companies are storming the financial marketplace and changing virtually every aspect possible.

Hong Kong FinTech Week is the world’s first cross-border financial technology (FinTech) event. It’s one of the largest conferences on the calendar, expecting to attract more than 8,000 senior executives and featuring over 200 of the world’s top FinTech founders, investors, regulators, and academics, who are shaping the future of financial services by driving a technological revolution in the industry across Asia and globally.

The Third Annual Hong Kong Fintech Week will be held on 29 Oct – 2 Nov 2018 (Mon-Fri) in Hong Kong, presented by InvestHK and organised by FINNOVASIA and Finovate.

The FinTech sector in Israel has been blooming for several years. What started out with just a handful of start-ups, has grown to more than 500 companies utilizing cutting edge technologies, unique business models and deep know-how in peripheral fields (such as cybersecurity).

During the coming FinTech week events, some Israeli companies are planning to come and showcase their cutting edge technologies, share knowledge, experience and analysis of their respective technologies and their vision of the Israeli Fintech ecosystem.
