Global fintech collaboration platform Next Money, which currently runs across 43 countries with hubs in Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, London and Silicon Valley, has launched a new program in South Korea to encourage potential fintech entrepreneurs into action.

Held on August 31, Korea’s start-ups, academics and tech experts gathered at the Next Money event, which will be followed by a global conference and start-up demo day in 2018.

Next Money Korea currently has a nine-person steering committee, which includes Korean Fintech Support Centre President, Yoo Sang-soo and Korea Fintech Industry Association President, Lee Guen-joo. In a bid to boost the global competitiveness of South Korea’s domestic fintech businesses, it will host meet-up and connect events and fintech education programs in collaboration with domestic and international Universities.
