80RR Fintech Hub SG (80RR) recently welcomed South Korean delegates from D.camp and Korea Federation of Banks to its co-working space on 10th October 2022.

The delegates went for a tour at the premises as 80RR’s Community Director, Mr Gan Boon Seng, and Singapore FinTech Association (SFA)'s COO Mr Reuben Lim, shared with the delegates about Singapore's growing Fintech Economy, Singapore's vibrant start-up scene, and Singapore's unique ecosystem where start-ups and conglomerates coexist and learn from each other.

Located at 80 Robinson Road in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District, 80RR Fintech Hub is part of SFA’s efforts to nurture fintech ventures in Singapore. It was jointly established in 2017 by SFA, Hong Leong Holdings and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). 80RR aims to be an open co-working space for start-ups. Currently, 80RR is home to more than 50 companies from diverse countries and background.

“For smaller companies, having a physical space is important for them to meet up and network. As opposed to big companies like Korean Air and Samsung, people do not know the names of these companies, and they have to make themselves known to the rest of the world. Having a physical space therefore facilitates a more cohesive interaction and collaboration opportunities,” said Mr Gan Boon Seng, Community Director at 80RR.

Singapore has established itself as a financial hub for Southeast Asian countries, and has been quickly growing as a fintech leader under the government’s clear regulations with well set-up rules.
