The Credify Team is proud to have been selected to participate in the third batch of the Mizuho Crowd Brain Accelerator Program.

The Program

The program is a 5-month accelerator program co-organized by Mizuho Bank, Ltd (“Mizuho”) and New World Development Company Limited (“New World Group”), two leading corporations in Asia.

Credify was selected as one of the best technology-focused startups and change-makers who are going to bring about disruption and shape the future of commerce and the way we live.

The program offers several services including business matching with corporates, mentorship from business leaders of the two sponsor corporates: Mizuho Bank, Ltd and New World Group, mentorship from expert teams of the supporting organizations including Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, Cyberport, Deloitte, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen and the Sony Innovation Fund, several networking occasions to connect to senior leaders of various fields and a co-working space in Hong Kong.

The Sponsors

Mizuho
Mizuho is the third largest financial services group in Japan. Mizuho is the 15th largest banking institution in the world by total assets as of December 2018. Mizuho offers a range of financial services, including banking, securities, trust and asset management services, employing more than 56,000 people throughout 880 offices [source].

New World Group
New World Development is a Hong Kong conglomerate mainly focused on property development, hotels, department stores, infrastructure and services. The company operates businesses in more than 50 cities in Asia with a total asset value of 300 billion Hong Kong dollars ($39.4 billion) [source].

The Opportunity

This Hong Kong-based accelerator represents a great opportunity for Credify to showcase its technology, solutions and business to strategic businesses in a great and supportive location.

Hong Kong is one of the leading financial centers in Asia with a very progressive FinTech focus, with 8+ licensed Virtual Banks and strong supporter of Open Banking initiatives. Hong Kong would represent the perfect launch pad for Credify as we plan to enter China, the largest digital finance and e-commerce market in the world.
And the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is one of the world’s most liquid
exchanges, with global listings in an Asian timezone, which could provide Credify with potential financing opportunities in the future.

Whilst we remain focus on delivering on our business strategy and go-to-market efforts, we are grateful for having been selected to this program and we look forward to making the most of it over the coming weeks and months.
