MEDIA RELEASE
US$2b of capital available for FinTech start-ups through Singapore FinTech
Festival 2017’s Investor Summit
Singapore, 17 November 2017… Over 1,000 attendees, comprising investors and FinTech
start-ups, turned up at the Singapore FinTech Festival’s Investor Summit or “Deal Day” today,
and up to US$2 billion of capital was made available for the start-ups. The Investor Summit
was the finale of the four-month long matchmaking programme to provide opportunities for
FinTech start-ups to access funding from local and global investors. More than 1,000 FinTech
start-ups and 400 investors indicated interest to participate in the process and 525
connections were made among interested parties.
2. The Investor Summit, powered by Ernst & Young (EY), is organised by the Monetary
Authority of Singapore (MAS) and The Association of Banks in Singapore, as part of the 2017
Singapore FinTech Festival. The Investor Summit wraps up the week-long Singapore FinTech
Festival which saw more than 30,000 participants from over 100 countries.
3. Mr Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief FinTech Officer of MAS, said, “The fundraising process
for start-ups can be a long and arduous process. On the other side of the table, the challenge
for investors is to generate quality prospects aligned to their investment objectives. “Deal Day”
aims to provide a platform for FinTech start-ups to connect to investors. We want to enhance
access to funding for start-ups and improve the quality and quantity of FinTech investment
deals in Singapore. I am delighted that we have managed to facilitate a considerable number
of matches, and kickstarted promising conversations. I am hopeful that concrete deals will
emerge from these connections.”
