In its third year, the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) is the world’s largest FinTech festival and global platform for the community to foster an open dialogue between public and private sectors to advance FinTech in the digital economy.

During this year’s week-long event from November 7 to 11, 80RR Fintech Hub SG (80RR) was the proud venue sponsor for two Blockchain Association Singapore (BAS) events – the Blockchain for Good Appreciation Night and SG Blockchain Day 2021.

At the Appreciation Night, the inaugural Blockchain for Good Non-Fungible Token (NFT) charity auction was held, in collaboration with the National Trades Union congress (NTUC) U Care Fund. The event was graced by the Guest-of-Honour, Speaker of Parliament Mr Tan Chuan-Jin. With the generous support from partners, the auction successfully raised over S$400,000 for various assistance programmes, including helping families defray their costs of living and children’s education.

At the event, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony between BAS and NTUC-U Care Fund also took place, to continue the use of blockchain technology for fundraising purposes.

80RR also hosted the SG Blockchain Day 2021, which was a part of SFF’s Innovation Lab Crawl.

The hybrid event showcased a day full of keynote speeches and panels focusing on the current and emerging developments in the blockchain and digital assets industry, as well as its surrounding ecosystems. The day’s programme featured over 30 stellar speakers and industry leaders, joined by a total of 40 participants on-site, and more than 1,200 participants live-streaming online.
