It will be held by the MAS and ABS.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) revealed that the inaugural Singapore FinTech Festival will be held in Singapore from 14 to 18 November 2016. 

The week-long festival will be organised in partnership with the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS). It will bring together a series of back-to-back FinTech events.

The event will have three components: the global FinTech Hackcelerator, the MAS FinTech Awards, and a series of conferences and events. The announcement was made at the Singapore FinTech roadshow in New York City.

“Technology will fundamentally transform the financial industry. The Singapore FinTech Festival will offer a conducive environment for FinTech players, both within and outside the financial industry, to exchange ideas and forge partnerships that will nurture a thriving FinTech ecosystem in Singapore,” said Ravi Menon, Managing Director, MAS, said in New York.
