The FinTech Society at the University of Hong Kong is a volunteer led, not-for-profit group which works closely with start-ups, industry leaders and experts in the field to provide our members with specialised workshops, competitions, seminars, start-up fairs, networking sessions and much more. We passionately advocate and work toward the better future of FinTech in Hong Kong.
Objectives
We focus on the skillsets of future employees as automation has made drastic changes in the financial industry and thus raised the need for re-skilling of the upcoming generation to fulfil the demand. We aim to
- develop students' entrepreneurial and technical skills
- build the professional network of students through networking with industry leaders for future cooperation and collaboration
- develop students' self-reliance and inspire them to create and innovate
Vision and Mission
Our society recognises the unpredictability and dynamic nature of the financial industry now and realises the disrupting potential that advancements in FinTech could have on the sector. Thereby, our society is not limited to FinTech, but rather a spectrum from Finance to Technology and everything in between. Our large coverage also allows a broad range of enthusiasts irrespective of degree and educational background
to become members and join our society.
