Fintech O2O Global Summit 2018 sees players converge on Hong Kong on May 9


HONG KONG, April 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The fintech revolution marches on with global leaders in blockchain, AI, cybersecurity, insurtech, regtech, payments and investment converging on Hong Kong in May. From fresh startups and fintech champions to financial services and technology giants, innovators will craft the future this May 9 in Hong Kong.

The Fintech O2O Global Summit will take place in Hong Kong on May 9, 2018. Find out more about this major fintech event at www.fintechO2O.com

PMQ, in the heart of Hong Kong's hip SOHO district, will host a multivariate event that will explore the convergence of different fintech verticals. Major financial services institutions, regulators and venture capitalists are looking carefully at the next wave of innovative startups, many of whom are beyond concept and now in-market with their solutions. The event will take place the day after, and connect to the Block O2O Blockchain Summit 2018.

"Advances in blockchain and cybersecurity are going to need to implement AI solutions. Payment gateways will have to integrate with leading open banking solutions to deliver real utility to users. The silos are crumbling as the startups and traditional players are connecting to deliver the future promised to consumers," says NexChange CEO, Juwan Lee.

Investors and fintech startups, from seed level to mezzanine level, will find opportunities to connect in the "Marketplace: The Investors' Stage" area and the targeted networking. Those looking to discover the next big thing, find investment targets, collaborate on competition beating fintech solutions are coming from around the world to the 2nd Fintech O2O Global Summit, running back to back with the Block O2O Blockchain Summit 2018.
