Reference excerpt

Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) is the largest FinTech festival in the world and a knowledge platform for the global FinTech community. SFF is organized annually by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Global Finance & Technology Network and Constellar in collaboration with The Association of Banks in Singapore.

Background

Initially, SFF 2016 started with a number of features including the FinTech Awards, the Global FinTech Hackcelerator, and three FinTech conferences which focused a number of topics such as API, Big Data, Blockchain, Machine Learning, RegTech and Tech Risk.

History There were more than 13,000 international participants from 60 countries in 2016. In 2017, more than 30,000 international participants from 109 countries attended the festival. Nearly 40% of the participants were C-suite, senior management level decision makers and influencers. In 2018, there were more than 45,000 international participants from 130 countries. In 2019, the number of international participants increased to 60,000 from 140 countries. Participants in 2019 include industry professionals, founders, investors, academics, and government agencies. The Conference and Exhibition featured 569 speakers and close to 1,000 exhibiting companies from around the world, including 41 international pavilions.

SWITCH SFF and Singapore Week of Innovation and TeCHnology (SWITCH) had the collaboration first time in 2019 with a week long events and activities focusing FinTech and deep technology.

Notable attendees There were a number of international dignitaries participated including Christine Lagarde (in her role as the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund), Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands (in her capacity as the Secretary-General of the United Nations’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance Development), Arun Jaitley, former Indian Finance Minister and Minister of Corporate Affairs, Dr. Agustin Carstens, General Manager of Bank for International Settlements (BIS), Dr. Patrick Njoroge, Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, and Lee Hsien Loong, Former Prime Minister of Singapore.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Singapore FinTech Festival

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Singapore FinTech Festival claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Singapore FinTech Festival before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Singapore FinTech Festival ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Singapore FinTech Festival

In research: Singapore FinTech Festival appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Singapore FinTech Festival in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Singapore FinTech Festival is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2016 establishments in Singapore, Academic conferences, Annual events in Singapore, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Singapore FinTech Festival outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
