In collaboration with Elevandi, a non-profit organization founded by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), ST Engineering is gearing up to support FinTech start-ups and foster the integration of transformative technologies in financial services. The companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2023, vowing to jointly aid FinTech start-ups in creating innovative solutions, collaborate on cybersecurity certification initiatives and offer training programs in cybersecurity. They will also engage in joint research initiatives, partnership programs for promoting knowledge sharing, and investigate sustainability solutions with ST Engineering’s corporate venture unit.
Pat Patel, Executive Director of Elevandi, said, "We are excited to collaborate with ST Engineering to advance FinTech in the digital economy and accelerate innovation. This partnership is timely as we continue to drive technology adoption and growth across Asia, Africa, Europe, and soon in Latin America. It adds significant value to our key audiences within the policy, finance, and tech communities, enhancing education, providing insights, and strengthening digital resilience."
