Credify selected in the Plug and Play Tokyo FinTech accelerator program
Singapore and Tokyo — 6th December 2019 — Credify is excited to announce its selection as a Plug and Play Japan participant in their three-month accelerator program commencing this month. As only two percent of applicants are awarded this opportunity, we feel very honored to have been selected. Plug and Play has helped raise $7,000,000,000 from its 300 plus Venture Capital partners and has partnered with over 240 major corporations that support 400 startups per year. It has branches across the globe. Its Tokyo branch provides an effective bridge between Japan and their global innovation ecosystem. This three-month Plug and Play accelerator program at the end of Credify’s seed funding stage will both enhance Credify’s global exposure and equip us with greater knowledge and skills as we move closer to a full launch.
Credify CEO Makoto Tominaga expresses his excitement: “We are honored to have been selected to participate in the *Winter/Spring 2020 Batch of Plug and Play Japan’s FinTech programme.* We are huge fans of the Plug and Play model, connecting budding startups with some of the largest and most successful enterprises around the world with the aim to collaborate on innovative solutions to very specific problems they face, often times giving rise to entirely new and disruptive technologies. We are particularly interested in having one-on-one discussions with companies like MUFG (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, ORIX Corporation, and Hitachi, Ltd. around our universal identity solution to help bridge services for the enterprise’s users in a simple and frictionless way. And we are confident this will lead to the adoption of the deeper counterparty risk reduction products we are developing.”
Credify Head of Engineering Shuichi Nagao was equally excited about this opportunity: “We are really delighted to participate in this program. The more we talk with the participating Japanese partner companies, the more we realize the manifold collaboration opportunities. Look forward to engaging in ground-breaking projects with them.”
