Smart City Steroids
Hong Kong hackathon was
the very first one I attended
It was basically all of ideas
colliding with each other
and then trying to
figure out the way
and trying to get everything done
Whereby for incubation week,
it's more of a finetune
and we wouldn't be able to do this
without all the guidance
We provide verifying "Know Your Supplier" across the globe
and we provide real-time fraud detection for payments across suppliers
How much do - those people spending 801 billion on building things -
how much do they spend on fraud protection?
a very good lesson that I felt
I've learned so far is about the pitch
So
Hackathon - you're actually
presenting an idea, a hypothesis
which may or may not turn-
turn out to be a real-life business
but for what we are
doing right now is
to actually make
the idea into a solid package
with business models,
with product itself
It's how it potentially can grow
and then the competitors,
the customers, and everything
We're gonna build this product
in partnership with the
sandbox programs at the ADB
We're gonna launch this in three countries
the Philippines, Hong Kong and Indonesia
because all support the open banking APIs
I was so excited to
actually meet a lot more other teams
of great talents
from all over the place
and then, yes we compete
but we also collaborate with each other
So it's a good learning and sharing experience
We are Smart City Steroids,
procurement finance fraud detection platform
We help you to know better and act faster
After going through all the trainings
from all the mentors and
from all the guest speakers
actually helped us to
set a more clear idea, yeah
