(Hong Kong) FinTech diploma Series in 2021 Started by HKUSPACE

By

#FinTech is very critical for Hong Kong as one of the world’s leading financial centres. #HKUSPACE has started a comprehensive FinTech diploma course in 2021 with aim to cultivating more FinTech talents for Hong Kong. It is amazing to see that we have a full range of FinTech training now from PhD, Master’s Bachelor’s to Diploma, Certificate & MOOC from all major universities here. We had none of these 5 years ago.

Calvin Cheng, CFA, the CEO of #Wizpresso Wizpresso, is the key designer and instructor of this course. Calvin invited me as his first guest speaker for the class. I shared about my experience on FinTech, FinTech ecosystem and open innovation. Calvin’s students were very eager to learn and asked quite a few good questions.

Glad to see that young professionals from financial services and non financial services industries have such a drive to learn more about FinTech. The class is on every Friday evening for many weeks. It is not easy obviously. I am so respectful to Calvin and all his students to spend time and effort to learn. Great learning attitude👍🙏. 加油💪👊!

Appreciate Calvin and hkuspace programme leader Ringo Chan for their effort to put together such a practical and timely FinTech programme for Hong Kong. Find out more here https://lnkd.in/gvP_TCR

(Hong Kong) BODW 2020 – A few insights about InsurTech start-ups in Hong Kong

By

#InsurTech is getting great momentum in Hong Kong. #Bowtie #Blue #OneDegree #CoverGo #Coherent #Weinsurance #ZongAn & a few more have been pioneering it & performing well. At the same time, incumbents gradually ramping up their innovation  like #Aviva #AXA #Prudential #SunLife #Zurich

I had a fruitful discussion with Fred Ngan #Bowtie in the #BODW2020 a few weeks ago. Today, I had another chance to talk to a group of experts in the InsurTech industry including Isabel Feliciano-Wendleken Lapman Lee ✔ Syed Musheer Ahmed in the 2020 #NEXX FinTech at #Cyberport.

My key takeaways:
1. InsurTech startups need to find the right sponsor in the incumbents which are aligned on KPIs

2. Like #OpenBanking, #OpenInsurance is needed for better customer experience & collaboration with the ecosystem

3. Build digital insurance from scratch so that the end products are simplier in nature & easier for designing better customer centric solutions

4. #B2B gains good momentum while #B2C can learn from #VirtualBanks.

Apart from InsurTech, the Conference had panels on #VirtualBanking, #Payments & other hot FinTech topics. Glad to see good friends Ernest Leung from #WeLab, Medhy Souidi from #DBS & FinTech guru Emil Chan & others.

Appreciate Mann WM Yim & Ivy Chan for organizing the conference.
