Other Events
Apart from this there were specially sponsored events which attendees could register to attend including cocktails in the late afternoon|evening at other venues and a dinner. InnovationHongKong was fortunate to be included in an exclusive University of Connecticut dinner which gathered some alumni, investors and startups attending the insurtech conference. It was interesting to note that UCONN (as it is known) recently introduced a unique Masters of Fintech degree – only a handful of universities offer this globally. We were hosted by the Director, Global & Experiential Education and the Masters of Fintech Programme Director. An interesting and innovative collaboration between university and the event organisers not only for Asia but globally…a great plus for participants.
