“It has been very inspiring to see how open people are to adopting new technologies. This is particularly attractive for a FinTech company such as Smart Solutions. I strongly believe that XNode has the right reach and network, so that in due time, we can foster the proper partnerships to be successful.”
In recent years, the Chinese government has been very proactive in shifting government priorities and policies towards fostering a knowledge and service-centric economy primarily driven by technology. Bold new technologies, business models, innovators and investors from outside of China are required to continue to fuel this shift with forwarding momentum.
China is actively promoting innovation cooperation with countries around the world, and Singapore is a center of financial and scientific innovation among Southeast Asia. On May 24th this year, Heng Swee Keat, Co-Chairmen, Singapore Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, and Ying Yong, Mayor of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government addressed the meeting and jointly attended the first meeting of Singapore-Shanghai Comprehensive Cooperation Council (SSCCC). At the meeting, Shanghai and Singapore also held a memorandum of cooperation signing ceremony, and two governments, arbitration institutions, financial institutions and enterprises respectively signed five memorandum of cooperation. XNode and Enterprise Singapore signed a MOU on promoting entrepreneurial innovation ecosystem interaction between Singapore and China. Both sides reached consensus on organizing and establishing a new innovative base in China, in order to help Singapore enterprises (including start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises) in China connected to local business and innovation ecosystems by offering entrance to Chinese market, the docking of human resources, investment institutions, customer resources and potential cooperation opportunities.
