As of June 30, 2020, OneConnect, an associate company of the Ping An Group, had served all state-owned banks and joint-stock banks in China, 99% of commercial banks, and 53% of insurance companies.

These include localized fintech technology services such as smart marketing, smart risk controls, smart operations and fintech centers.

They also covered solutions implemented at Ping An OneConnect Bank, OneConnect’s virtual banking subsidiary: the process for opening a bank account online, opening an online small and medium enterprises (SME) account and loan solutions, and cloud-based core banking, which improves sales, risk management and customer service quality.

Hong Kong Blockchain Week 2020: Setting DeFi and Blockchain Trends for 2021

November 17th to 19th 2020, speakers and participants will assess the economic and technological rollercoaster of the year 2020,and will discuss whether DeFi will change the game for fintech.

HONG KONG, Oct. 20, 2020 — During a week-long virtual event, speakers from institutions, businesses, regulatory bodies, innovative companies will evaluate the outcomes of 2020 for blockchain, technology and economy, and deliver valuable predictions about what will be trending in the nearest future. 

Hong Kong Blockchain Week 2020/Block O2O Global Virtual Summit 18 Nov
Hong Kong Blockchain Week 2020/Block O2O Global Virtual Summit 18 Nov

Hosted by The NexChange Group, Hong Kong Blockchain Week is co-organised by Hong Kong Cyberport, the main regional technology hub driving the innovation force and nurturing a growing digital community in Hong Kong.

"Blockchain technology has become more widely adopted and increasingly pivotal in various areas of application, such as the financial services industry. The recent Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP) initiative by the People’s Bank of China has put Blockchain and Crypto back on the radar screen. Home to the largest FinTech community in Hong Kong with well over 300 FinTech start-ups and companies in the community, Cyberport is pleased to be powering Hong Kong Blockchain Week to examine the latest developments of blockchain and showcase Hong Kong’s capabilities in this area. Our goal is to draw blockchain talents together to exchange ideas, to co-create business opportunities as well as to lead the city in embracing blockchain," said Peter Yan, Chief Executive Officer of Cyberport.

Attendees will follow the experts’ discussions on such hot topics shaping the global agenda such as fintech, investment, and digital assets. Here, Dan Morehead, CEO of Pantera Capital, notes: "Digital assets have out-performed nearly all other asset classes year-to-date as unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus drive up the prices of things whose quantity cannot be eased. We strongly believe we are in the early stages of a large bull market fueled by both a powerful global macro tide and growing fundamentals in the underlying technology."

Quickly gaining traction, DeFi has become the center of attention throughout most of 2020. Decentralised Finance has undoubtedly disrupted the whole ecosystem of DLT-based financial services. From Yield Farming in trading, to DAOs and stablecoins, to NFTs (non fungible tokens) in asset tokenization and gamification, DeFi has shown interesting endless possibilities and applications which made it one of the hottest trends of the year. 

"With decentralization at its core the blockchain space was built for unprecedented times like these," said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent. "The Crypto community has succeeded in rapidly pivoting to a virtual approach to conferences making it accessible to an even wider audience. I was looking forward to attending this year’s Hong Kong Blockchain Week, and hope to see you all there."

After the core event which is the Block O2O Global Virtual Summit set for November 18th, organizers prepared a DeFi special: a whole DeFi Day will be held on November 19th, featuring virtual discussions, workshops and livestreams. 

Yat Siu, Co-founder and Chairman, Animoca Brands, Founder and CEO, Outblaze: "As the COVID-19 pandemic continues worldwide, Hong Kong Blockchain Week 2020 will allow global blockchain leaders and investors to safely discuss the latest developments, opportunities and solutions in today’s most exciting field of technology. We are especially looking forward to the evolving discussions about the many benefits of non-fungible tokens for the general public."

As one of the most anticipated events for blockchain and fintech, Hong Kong Blockchain Week 2020 enjoys a rich agenda of associated events, including an online ceremony of the world’s first international TADS Awards 2020 on November 18th, celebrating the Tokenized Assets and Digital Securities industries by recognizing and honouring significant contributions worldwide.

About NexChange: NexChange Group is a venture innovation and media platform specializing in Blockchain, FinTech, HealthTech, AI, and Smart Cities. By creating a global O2O community, NexChange creates, markets, accelerates and provides access to innovative products.

HONG KONG, Oct. 16, 2020 — Cyberport Venture Capital Forum (CVCF), Cyberport’s annual tech investment event, will return on 3-4 November.

The two-day virtual forum will gather more than 50 global venture capital (VC) experts to examine key silver linings through a plethora of illuminating keynotes and panel discussions. Furthermore, over 80 virtual booths will be set up for start-ups to showcase innovative tech solutions as part of a comprehensive platform to connect start-ups with investors for power pitching and provide extensive opportunities to explore tech venturing dynamics.

As the digital tech flagship in Hong Kong, Cyberport is dedicated to facilitating deal flow for start-ups and enriching the regional VC landscape. Echoing the event’s overarching theme, "Navigating New Normal of Tech Venturing", over 50 international and local experts from major industry players, including Qiming Venture Partners, Alibaba Group, IESE Business School, PayU-Prosus, Vickers Venture Partners, Golden Gate Ventures, Genesis Alternative Ventures, Sino Group, Rethink Education, Blue Elephant Capital, HashKey Digital Asset Group, Angelhub, Radiant Venture Capital, Asia GreenTech Fund, Lingfeng Capital and LEGO Ventures, will discuss the latest global paradigm shift in the tech venturing landscape that has stemmed from the current macro-economic outlook and mega trends, covering topics such as the latest strategies from VC and corporate ventures, new investment spaces like venture debt, the development of education technology (EdTech), the geo-political impact of cross-border capital flow and investor orientations with regards to the trade tensions and Asia market dynamics, digital transformation in high potential verticals, funding strategies for start-ups, and more.

Cindy Chow, Chairlady of the Cyberport Investors Network and Executive Director of Alibaba Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund, will also be highlighting start-up fundraising updates and plans for investor engagement while celebrating the third anniversary of the dedicated investment platform.

Global events extending frontier of tech venturing

This year, two spotlight events under CVCF will further enrich insights in the wider tech venturing space. To enhance support for start-ups and connections with the EdTech sector, CVCF is pleased to co-present the Edventures Global Business Acceleration Summit together with Esperanza, a start-up NGO founded by Mr John C Tsang to catalyse the development of Hong Kong as an EdTech innovation hub in the GBA. The event looks into the developments and trends of the EdTech market, which is one of the most promising markets under the new normal and a key sector of development within Cyberport’s smart living application cluster.

CVCF will also partner with international tech investment event, Silicon Dragon 2020, to bring in more international investors and start-ups, and explore more tech venturing dynamics, all whilst connecting capital, innovation, entrepreneurship, and growth.

Peter Yan, CEO of Cyberport, said, "the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 epidemic to the economy have at the same time accelerated the digital transformation of enterprises and the wide adoption of various digital business models like online-to-offline, virtual events, work and learn from home. There is also an increasing demand in tech-assisted healthcare and other contactless lifestyle applications. All these translate to an unprecedented conducive business environment for our tech start-ups to grow and more than ever, a strong need for investors to leverage the Cyberport platform to identify quality companies with strong talents and promising business models. Cyberport remains committed to spring-boarding start-ups to success, and the Cyberport Venture Capital Forum (CVCF) is the key event for us to bridge investors with our tech community as well as the annual destination for our Cyberport Investor Network (CIN) to gather, share their views on the latest developments and exchange insights on coming trends. I look forward to another year of illuminating sharings by industry leaders and productive exchanges and matchings between the tech community and investors."
