Chief Judge of FinTech Award Shares Tips for Winning the Hearts of Judges at 2023 Hong Kong ICT Awards

By

In the capacity of the Chief Judge of the FinTech Award of 2023 Hong Kong ICT Awards, I have shared my experience and tips on winning the hearts and votes from the judges to the participants of this year’s competition today. Thanks to The Hong Kong Institute of Bankers #HKIB to organize this fruitful mentoring session. Appreciate the leadership from Carrie Leung, the effort from Chung Wan Lam and their HKIB teammates.

Apart from my sharing, we had a panel discussion with 3 other judges and assessors of the Award including Michael Leung #BOA, Jacob Wai, FRM, FFA FIPA, FCMA, CSDP, MHKCS, LLM, MBA #Deloitte and Henry Chang. Thanks for Lionel #HKIB to moderate our panel discussion.

I have included one of my slides on the 12 key advices for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs as your reference. Let me know if you would like to understand more. I am happy to share with you. I also introduced the Grand Award winners for the last 4 years where I was the Chief Judge. It includes Terence Leung #AIA, 鄭嘉泓 #Wizpresso, Miles Wen (温豪夫) #FanoLabs and Tomas Holub #CoverGo. I shared some insights on how they made it.

We also invited Kevin Leung #Liquid, the Gold Medal winner of last year, to share his experience. Kevin’s sharing was inspring. Here are my 3 picks from Kevin:

1. You are the winner already when you joined this award competition.

2. Keep trying and keep learning. He has tried several times and pivoted many times before he won the Award.

3. Speak slowly and clearly to get your key messages across deep to your judges. Keep it simple but really plant these few key points to the judge’s mind.

Met new and familiar startups and financial services leaders today as well. Wish you all have a great learning journey and all the best. See you soon in the presentation rounds. Cheers.

“Bank of Future” – FinTech Week Hong Kong 2022

By

I ran into “Bank of Future” today in the 2022 FinTech Week Hong Kong #FTWHK https://lnkd.in/gNF–y47. It was wonderful and amazing to see many old and new friends in the FinTech space. More eye-opening innovations from our FinTech ecosystem. Our innovation have not been stopped by the pandemic.

“Pushing Boundaries, Reaping Benefits” is this year’s main theme. I saw traditional financial services are doing exactly like this. Transunion’s “Beyond Credit”, DBS’s “More like a startup, less like a bank”. How about FinTech startups? #DimOrder looks like a POS system and now well beyond POS to solve finance related pain points for their supply chain. They got accepted to the world’s best accelerator, #YCombinator. Arguably, Y Combinator is the factory of Unicorns. DimOrder is our Hong Kong’s honour and proud. #Diginex goes beyond ESG reporting to solve the financing issues of SMEs. And more beyond everything plus the X factor of MetaVerse.

Thanks for Victor Yim #Cyberport, Crystal Fok #HKSTP, Jessica Liu #FTAHK and many other ecosystem enablers to make these all happened. More financial services incumbents are open their doors to collaborate with startups while the government and regulators have new policy and fundings for the fintech ecosystem in Hong Kong.

New initiatives on #CBDC, #CDI, #DigitalAsset, blockchain-based and AI applications plus #MetaVerse with infinite imagination are emerging. The financial services companies in this decade is going to be revolutionized. Or we should ask ourselves “What is a financial services company in 2030?” Stay tuned for more.

Glad to meet quite a few elite FinTech leaders and entrepreneurs there, such as, Marie Claire Lim Moore #Transunion, Ben Wong #DimOrder, Benedict Ang #OCBC, Kevin Leung #LIQUID, Taurus Cheung #ShipAny, Patrick C.S. Fan #beNovelty, Thomson Ho #10Life, Ankit Suri #PlanTo, Ben Wong #SunLife, Jaff Lau #HSBC, Paul Wan #SCB, Culsin Li #BaoBabTre and many other great startups and innovation leaders from #HSBC, #SCB, #BEA, #DBS, #OCBC, and more there as well. See you around in the venue or online.
