On 14th and 15th March, Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar (HMGoG), alongside the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange, hosted a private cocktail reception in Singapore and Hong Kong respectively for a select group from different industries with an interest in Gibraltar’s Fintech and Blockchain position.

The GBX would like to thank the Hon. Albert Isola, Minister for Commerce, Paul Astengo and Mike Ashton from Gibraltar Finance for two fantastic events at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore and Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.

The focus, of course, was Gibraltar’s fintech and blockchain regulations, something that sets this European jurisdiction at the forefront of the industry. As the Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo stated at the Gibraltar International Fintech Forum earlier this year: “Gibraltar is open for business.”

The Minister welcomed co-operation between Gibraltar and Hong Kong: “I am certain that there are opportunities for firms in Singapore or Hong Kong to work with Gibraltar firms, for the mutual benefit of both economies, and I would encourage you to reach out and start the discussion.”

Nick Cowan, CEO of the GSX Group, spoke about the potential opportunities the new crypto space offers, as well as the pathway to traditional financial services through the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange and the Gibraltar Stock Exchange.

An additional guest speaker, Brain W Tang, the managing director of Asia Capital Markets Institute, also addressed the attendees at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong.

Attendees from various industries, legal, financial, investment and technology came together to find out more about the Crypto Harbour. As this emerging technology develops, it’s clear that Gibraltar offers a hospitable environment for growth.

The events finished off with networking opportunities and it was clear to see the huge interest in Gibraltar as a jurisdiction. Its forward-thinking approach continues to impress across the globe.

The GBX would like to thank everyone who attended.
