15 semi-finalists competed in Singapore to secure their passes for Sibos.
For the 2015 Startup Challenge, Innotribe received close to 370 applications from early-stage and growth-stage startups hailing from all over the world. Over 500 judges assessed these companies on their ability to provide significant innovation in the future of the financial industry. The number of candidates was ultimately narrowed down to this year’s 60 semi-finalists.
On 28 May, 15 semi-finalists came to Singapore to pitch their innovative ideas during Next Bank Asia. This two day conference was curated and run by banking experts and covered key topics that matter to the industry right now: the digital shift, the changing competitive landscape, and rising customer expectations.
