Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) and Smartkarma are pleased to announce they have entered into a knowledge partnership that combines SFF’s global knowledge platform with Smartkarma’s world-class research capabilities.

Through connecting SFF’s knowledge and resources with Smartkarma’s research capabilities, this partnership has been established to cultivate stakeholder dialogue and enhanced innovation in financial services.

“Given their robust research capabilities, our collaboration with Smartkarma seemed to be a natural extension of our platform. Together, we hope to catalyse meaningful discussion and dialogue within the financial services industry,” says Pat Patel, General Manager of Elevandi (organisers of the SFF).

“We are proud to be a FinTech Knowledge Partner of the Singapore FinTech Festival, which connects key stakeholders of the finance industry, driving dialogue and democratizing access to institutional-level Insight across all asset classes,” says Raghav Kapoor, CEO and Co-Founder of Smartkarma.

With the focus of this year’s festival on Web 3.0, Elevandi and Smartkarma will together be showcasing a newly-published report at the event entitled, ‘How Web 3.0 will Impact the Financial Services Industry’.

This report will examine the role of innovative technologies including blockchain, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and edge computing on development of the financial services sector. It will provide analysis of how key financial service verticals will develop in the context of a web that is becoming more immersive, trustless and permissionless.

The report will focus on a few select sectors within financial services, including:

• Capital Markets
• Asset Management
• Consumer Banking
• Wholesale Banking

The report, which can be found here, will be officially presented on 8th November, the opening day of the Singapore FinTech Festival 2021.
