Nine MUFG Young Innovators from Odisha step onto a global stage.

Made possible through MUFG's support, this session brings students from India's emerging FinTech ecosystem, who have undergone the Certificate in FinTech and InsurTech programme, before an international audience of industry leaders, investors and policymakers. The session features a live showcase from the cohort's winning team, presenting the work that earned them their place here.

A demonstration of what happens when talent is met with opportunity and a look at where the next generation of financial innovation is coming from.

The Global FinTech Hackcelerator (GFH) is SFF’s flagship innovation programme, organised by MAS and GFTN. Innovators from around the world answer real problem statements set by leading financial institutions, and up to 20 shortlisted teams are brought to Singapore to pitch live on stage. This opening starts an afternoon of three challenge finals on the Catalyst Stage, presented with GXS Bank, Julius Baer and Zurich Insurance. One winner will be crowned in each category and take home SGD 80,000 in cash.

Fraud and credit risk no longer sit in separate boxes, yet most banks still assess them as if they do. Static, siloed models leave blind spots that scammers exploit in real time. In this Global FinTech Hackcelerator final, shortlisted teams take on GXS Bank’s challenge: unify credit and fraud risk in a single framework that keeps learning and adapts as fast as the threats do. Watch solutions that could change how banks see risk, pitched live and judged on the Catalyst Stage, with SGD 80,000 going to the winner.
