Twelve Swiss companies representing various aspects of the Swiss financial system will participate in the Singapore Fintech Festival 2024 (SFF 2024), held from 6 to 8 November at the Singapore Expo.
This marks the eighth year of Swiss presence at the festival, organized under the Swiss Pavilion by Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) and the Swiss Business Hub South East Asia + Pacific.
The Swiss delegation aims to demonstrate the strengths of their fintech industry, emphasizing Switzerland’s reputation for trustworthiness, quality, and innovation.
SFF 2024 will focus on six key themes, including the Roadmap for AI & Quantum, Blueprint for Digital Assets, Next-Gen Transactions, Sustainability in Action, Bridging the Financial Gap, and Talent of Tomorrow.
The event is expected to attract global leaders from government, finance, investment, and technology sectors.
Returning participants are aiming to build on their existing presence in Singapore and the broader ASEAN market.
Switzerland’s financial sector is recognized for blending tradition with innovation, contributing to its standing as a global leader in financial services.
The country has retained its top-ranked position in the 2024 Global Innovation Index by WIPO, marking 14 consecutive years of leadership in innovation.
S-GE, acting on behalf of the Swiss Confederation and cantons since 1927, supports more than 5,500 Swiss companies in expanding internationally each year.
It also facilitates foreign companies’ investments in Switzerland through its global network, including the Swiss Business Hub South East Asia + Pacific.
Renee Koh, Deputy Head of Swiss Business Hub South East Asia + Pacific said,
“The steadfast support from Swiss financial institutions and fintech companies at SFF 2024 underscores our commitment to bringing innovative Swiss enterprises to Singapore, empowering them to establish a strategic foothold in Southeast Asia.
Swiss solutions are globally acclaimed for their robust, time-tested reliability and strict adherence to regulatory frameworks. This proven excellence positions Swiss companies as invaluable partners for Asian market players, providing a clear competitive edge in navigating the region’s complex and dynamic environments”.
