The Making Of…Global FinTech Hackcelerator 2017

The Global FinTech Hackcelerator, powered by KPMG Digital Village, is a platform for problem statements collected from the financial industry to be matched with innovative market-ready solutions from around the world. This year, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) published 100 problem statements under four categories (Customer-Facing, Financial Inclusion, RegTech, and General), and received 580 submissions from over 40 countries. Twenty teams were shortlisted by a panel of industry judges to participate in the 12-week programme. The teams worked with corporate champions and industry mentors to tailor and refine their market-ready solutions into contextualised prototypes and implementable use cases for the industry.
