Pakistan’s IT companies and fintech operators are looking to
grab business opportunities in the fintech sector worldwide, expanding
their footprint in different countries, attracting investment, and
winning projects against their innovative services and products, which
is depicting the participation of over ten companies in the most
significant global event—Singapore Fintech Festival.
Over 10 tech companies are participating in the Singapore Fintech
Festival, which will be held from November 6 to 8. Pakistan’s High
Commissioner to Singapore, Rabia Shafiq, inaugurated the pavilion of
Hexalyze Consulting Services at the festival.
Saad Shah, CEO Hexalyze Consulting Services and one of the Pakistani
IT companies attending the festival, said the presence of Pakistani
companies increased this year at the Singapore Fintech Festival as
compared to last year, which is an encouraging development for
Pakistan IT and fintech landscapes.
The participating companies are expected to grab good business
opportunities and lead generation by exhibiting the technological
solutions deployed locally in financial businesses to different
foreign companies, he added.
Saad further said that Pakistani IT and fintech companies are not
capable of generating export revenue from the IT sector but from the
diverse and huge financial sector through their products and services.
Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) is known as the world’s largest
FinTech festival and a global FinTech community knowledge platform.
This year, over 600 FinTech operators and IT companies and over 66,000
participants from over 150 countries are attending the event.
The event features 400 sessions with over 800 speakers, including CEOs
of leading financial institutions, fintech innovators, and government
representatives worldwide. The event fosters billions of dollars in
investment discussions and partnerships across the fintech ecosystem,
including venture capital funding and cross-border collaborations.
Pakistan’s presence at global exhibitions and festivals has gradually
increased in the last two years. Recently, Pakistan had a stellar
presence at GITEX with nearly 80 companies. Our country also debuted
with more than ten companies in Singapore Tech Week.
