Economy Minister Conor Murphy has arrived in Singapore to lead an all-island trade mission to the world’s largest fintech trade event, Singapore Fintech Festival.

The four-day trade mission, which is supported by Invest Northern Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland, will promote the island of Ireland as a hub for innovation in regtech, fintech, and financial services and will showcase 14 companies at the Singapore Fintech Festival to the wider Asia-Pacific market.

Minister Murphy said: “I’m delighted to lead the first ever all-Ireland trade mission to Singapore. It is very welcome that Invest NI, Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland are cooperating to showcase the strength of our companies, north and south.

“This trade event is a great opportunity for our economy. Ireland’s fintech sector is internationally recognised for its innovation and talent. And Singapore, as a global fintech leader, is a prime location to showcase our fintech capabilities on the world stage.”
