As technology continuously evolves, FinTech applications have also made major breakthroughs. Themed “Game Changers: The Rise of Next Gen FinTech“, the Awards celebrate ground-breaking ideas and technologies that shape the future of finance in a fast-changing environment. Out of 14 award categories, 10 are catered for corporations which have delivered exceptional FinTech projects or solutions used in various areas in Asia, and 4 categories celebrate the significant achievements of individuals and teams in FinTech.
In response to the rising concerns of security in cyberspace and data, a new category, “Cybersecurity and Data Protection”, has been introduced to recognise effort in protecting sensitive information against potential attacks. Both female and male play a key role in maintaining the sustainable development of FinTech industry. In this regard, IFTA also introduced the “Female’s Pioneer Award” to recognise female leaders and practitioners who have made unswerving effort and contribution to challenge the status quo and chart new frontier.
