The Singapore FinTech Festival 2024, to be held from 6 to 8 November, is one of the most important global events for the fintech sector. Italy is participating for the ninth time with a National Pavilion, the result of a collaboration between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) and Assofintech. This year, ten Italian start-ups will take centre stage, presenting innovative solutions in the fields of artificial intelligence, blockchain and digital payments. Participation in the festival highlights Italy's commitment to strengthening its presence in the international fintech market, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
Commenting on Italy's participation, Ambassador Dante Brandi said: 'The presence of Italian startups at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2024 reaffirms Italy's commitment to strengthening collaboration with Singapore and the Asean region. Singapore, with its technological leadership and dynamic role as a global fintech hub, is a natural partner for Italian innovation." Brandi also emphasised that this event is not only a showcase for Italian technologies, but also a unique opportunity to develop strategic relationships with investors, institutions and companies from around the world.
Giorgio Calveri, ITA Commissioner for Singapore, added: "We are thrilled to be here at the Singapore FinTech Festival, where Italy's most promising fintech startups have the opportunity to connect, collaborate and innovate globally. Our pavilion is not just a technology showcase, but a portal to create business opportunities that cross borders. Our start-ups are ready to explore new avenues for international growth and collaboration."
With strong growth of fintech in Italy, particularly in Milan, home to more than half of the sector's startups, this participation in the festival highlights the growing strength of the sector and its prospects globally, also supported by investments and supporting policies such as the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP).
