#SFFxSWITCH
Accenture is delighted to work with the SFF and SWITCH on this unique hybrid event that provides participants with greater access and inclusivity.

Singapore FinTech Festival 2020

The Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) is the world's largest and most inclusive FinTech event, bringing together heads of state, financial and technology leaders, FinTech founders, policy makers, investors and multilateral agencies. In 2019, SFF drew over 60,000 attendees from 140 countries.

This year, it returns on 7-11 December with a unique hybrid format combining a 24-hour online event platform and 30 physical events in FinTech hubs around the world, uniting the FinTech community to discuss key global challenges, with a focus on post-pandemic recovery.

The Innovation Lab Crawl is an integral part of the Singapore FinTech Festival, where various labs showcase their up-and-coming FinTech innovations through prepared tours and exhibitions.

Liquid Studio Singapore has participated in Innovation Lab Crawl since 2017. These are Innovation "Open houses" where one can explore our labs in a free form fashion.

This year, MAS has invited Accenture to participate in the Global Lab Crawl.
