PR, Marketing and Events
1. Singapore University of Social Sciences — Inclusive Fintech Summit 2018
Inclusive Blockchain: Distributing Trust & Wealth.
Our founder and CEO, Roy Lai was invited to contribute to a panel on “The Role of Self Regulatory Organisations”. The panel looked at how to create public trust : “education over time and in stages”. “The best response to regulation is to be self-regulating”. Additionally the panel concluded that “self-regulatory organisations need to attract members by making the joining threshold affordable, without compromising the quality of offering.”
Meet Mr. Fin & Ms. Tech! — Sobering data was shared by The World Bank Group’s CTO Ms. Lesly Goh. Ms. Goh detailed the World Bank Bali Fintech Agenda which looks at high level policy framework, international cooperation and potential risks brought about by the Blockchain innovation.
As a CTO for the WB Group, she brought the “Tech” side of the presentation, the “Fin” part came — appropriately enough — from her husband, Prof. Miguel Soriano of the International Finance Corporation, the private-sector arm of the World Bank that seeks investments in poverty reduction projects and promote development.
According to the World Bank latest figures, there are 1.7 billion unbanked interestingly according to Ericsson 1.7 billion unbanked have a mobile phone. What are phone companies doing right that banks are not?
2. Singapore Fintech Festival — LongHash Lab Crawl
Longhash events at Science Park are some of our favorites, they tend to be deep in tech, and great people take the time to meet everyone even if everybody is on a tight crypto-schedule.
Our COO Ling Soon, seem to enjoy these events a little too much — it must be all the tech-talk. Ling Soon spoke about the latest from the SENC front and we took time to meet with other developers, obtain an overview of latest ideas and identify technical synergies between strong developers attending the event.
Sentinel Chain is a blockchain-based international marketplace for cross-border financial services and the world’s first platform to accept the use of livestock as collateral. Taking a unique approach to the last mile problem of financial inclusion, the Sentinel Chain model establishes livestock provenance through the creation of livestock insurance on blockchain — the registration of livestock provenance on blockchain provides the unbanked with a new opportunity: the real possibility of accepting livestock as ‘collateral’ for loans. Sentinel Chain is a project by InfoCorp Technologies.
