SINGAPORE, March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Symbiosism Economy Foundation (SEF) officially became a member with voting rights of the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA). SFA is a cross-industry, non-profit association that aims to be a platform for collaboration between all market participants and stakeholders in the financial technology ecosystem. It is designed as an effective platform for members to reach out to multiple stakeholders to find solutions to a certain problem.
The Singapore Financial Technology Association was established in 2016 and is currently the largest non-profit association in the country.

Chan Mieh Chieh, Head of Symbiosism Economy Foundation, said: "Singapore has always been a world-renowned financial center and we are very pleased to join SFA and make our contribution in this continuous development of science and technology."
Singapore has a unique advantage in financial science and technology and has spawned a large number of scientific and technological practices. Singapore not only possesses strong financial specialization capabilities, but also possesses a large amount of financial intermediation and brings together a large number of financial professionals. The country has unique talent and experience advantages in terms of valuing technology, creating financial models and products for technological innovation, and risk control and management.
The latest KPMG report states that Singapore has demonstrated its value as a financial technology hub in Asia, especially in the areas of blockchain, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
