DIT is launching UK-Southeast Asia Fintech Series aimed at UK fintech companies, focused on the following themes:

• Sustainability – including environmental (e.g. green solutions)
• Social (e.g. financial inclusion)
• Governance (e.g. regulatory technology)

The series will highlight emerging opportunities in Southeast Asia and help UK fintech companies build a network as they look to expand in the fast-growing markets of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

The selected UK fintech companies will benefit from:

• Deep-dives into the evolving landscape in key Southeast Asian Markets
• Virtual roundtables for each market to connect with the Southeast Asia fintech ecosystem (regulators, corporates and innovators)
• A series of one-day events held in each market over the next year (as travel routes reopen) to meet regulators, potential partners, and develop in-market opportunities
• Regional and local promotion through marketing/comms linked to the programme
