Innovation and Sustainability in the Hotel Industry
Fintech
The origin of Plug and Play Fintech in Silicon Valley stemmed from a casual monthly blockchain meet-up with a small group of Fintech enthusiasts. As the meet-up started to gather different members of the Fintech ecosystem, Plug and Play Fintech was launched in 2015 to gather startups and insights in the emerging blockchain space and across other Fintech sub-sectors.

We launched our Fintech Program in Singapore in August of 2018 to expand our startup sourcing capabilities and corporate engagement to South-East Asia.
