After returning from a local launch event in Asia this past week, we’re excited to officially announce FinovateAsia will be heading to Hong Kong for the first time! The event will take place on November 8, 2016 at PMQ in the heart of Hong Kong’s SoHo district.

Just 30 hours in Hong Kong may not have been enough to explore all that the city has to offer, but we didn’t need much more to see and experience the vibrant fintech community. The trip was definitely a “hot” one—hot in humidity and in witnessing the booming fintech scene. While the weather won’t nearly be as hot come November, it quickly became evident that Hong Kong (and Asia as a whole) is ripe for innovation. We’re excited to see who makes it onto the Finovate stage as the most cutting-edge companies innovating from and for the Asian market.

If you’d like to apply to demo your company’s newest fintech innovation at the event, please email us at asia@finovate.com to get on the announcement list. We’ll begin accepting applications later this week.

And, if you’d like to attend and watch the future of fintech via our fast-paced, demo-only format, now is the best time to get your ticket. For just this week, we’re offering a special launch ticket deal. It ends this Friday, July 15, so save $400 by locking in your spot today (plus, seats are limited!).

We hope to see you in Hong Kong this November!
