Dear
Members and Friends
Your Chamber is very proud to support the Singapore Fintech Festival because we believe in collaborative innovation. There are so many great and successful commercial collaborations between businesses with clunky legacy systems and agile fintech start-ups which leverage each other’s capabilities to improve the customer experience and risk management.
The piece below is from the organizers of this year’s festival. What I
think is missing is any focus on
organizational culture and
sustainability. We all know
about the horror stories of
toxic workplace culture in too
many fintech start-ups. We all
know about the huge amounts of
energy used to print crypto
currencies or run data centres,
for example. In today’s world,
you cannot be resilient unless
you are committed to positive
workplace culture and to
achieving true sustainability.
Both are existential. Do you
agree?
Yours
faithfully
Victor Mills
Chief Executive
=============================================================
Resilient business models are needed today for FinTech to thrive tomorrow
What if there’s a solution that would boost your existing safety efforts, is accretive to human capital initiatives and ESG’s “S” and “G” pillars?
With persistent economic and non-economic shocks, wild swings in venture capital spending and the surprising collapse of virtual currencies, the FinTech industry is going through a major stress test.
We have entered a new period where companies are being forced to pivot to stay resilient and viable amidst these challenges. However, there is no quick help guide on doing this.
What we need are resilient business models that the FinTech industry can aspire towards and help future-proof against future disruptions. This is not the first global disruption and it will not be the last.
Key
questions that need to be
collectively explored by the
community include:
-
Viability: How are organizations building and redefining business models that can be more resilient to volatile market conditions?
-
Responsible: How are organizations balancing corporate responsibility and profitability in order to achieve greater stakeholder satisfaction and engagement?
-
Inclusive: How are organizations designing inclusive business models that cater to the needs of the unbanked and underbanked?
Fortunately, from 2 to 4 November 2022, the global FinTech community is convening at the
Singapore Fintech Festival, to answer these questions and more.
