A first FinTech-mission was organised in November 2017 from the Netherlands to Singapore. This was a succesful venture and has led to a start of a trajectory that will lead to a Partners for International Business (PIB) regarding Blockchain. During the recent months has work on an initial concept of a PIB-request. An important part in this process and the purpose of this mission is a thorough exploration of the market: where are the opportunities and demands in Singapore and where is the opening for Dutch knowledge institutions and businesses.

 

More attention for Blockchain

 

The attention for blockchain has increased strongly during the past year in Singapore. Several governmental institutions have started projects in the field of blockchain. Firstly in the financial sector, but furthermore in different sectors is there more attention for the application and opportunities of Blockchain.

Blockchain is one of the themes this year. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency is using the Festival for inspiration and to make new contacts. At the same time, will the mission focus on but a part of the FinTech festival because not all participants on the mission are FinTech oriented.
