The Fintech Showcase will return as a platform for more mature fintech related institutions and companies to network, exchange ideas and discuss potential partnership with the quality conference participants and to introduce the latest solutions and cutting-edge innovations to international media. On the other hand, the FintechHK Startup Salon, a brand-new initiative will be launched to connect fintech startups with international investors, and to introduce their latest solutions and cutting-edge innovations to the high-calibre conference participants. In addition, the Global Investment Zone (showcasing worldwide investment agencies) and the AFF Deal Flow Matchmaking Session (featuring matching meetings between sources of funds and sources of deals) will continue to spotlight business and investment opportunities from around the world. Entrepreneurs and new businesses will also showcase their ideas and capabilities to worldwide investors and partners at the InnoVenture Salon through project demos and presentations, investor meetups and mentoring sessions on project commercialisation and fund raising.
