(30 May 2016, Hong Kong.) Hundreds of Fintech enthusiasts were inspired to meet Fintech Entrepreneurs, Investors, Bankers, and Regulators at the Finnovasia Fintech Conference in the vibrant city of Hong Kong.
Susanne Chishti and Janos Barberis announced their Fintech Book Launch in Asia – the first Crowd-Sourced book on Fintech, representing 168 authors across 27 countries. Their idea of creating a Fintech book originated when they wanted to learn more about Fintech but there weren’t many books available in 2014 and thus decided to reach out to the global Fintech community and asked them to submit abstracts. Final inclusions were voted by the Fintech community of over 10,000 members.
The Fintech book addresses multiple aspects of disruptive technologies in the financial service industry and highlights the challenges that the mainstream banks are currently facing. The book took 16 months to go from idea to launch, and has been selling for 7 weeks. According to the editors, a copy is sold every 5 minutes!
