MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY
Sino-Singapore (Suzhou) Fintech Expo 2019

59. “The Suzhou Fintech Expo was well-organized. It was a great forum for us
to meet with representative from local government, regulators, financial
institutions as well as local technology company to exchange views and
discuss potential collaboration.
There are many changes in recent years around enhanced regulations and
internationalization of the China Wealth Management industry. It was the
perfect opportunity for WeInvest to present our view and visions on Digital
Wealth 3.0 and beyond. We made several business contacts who have
shown interests in our Wealth-as-a-Service platform and Global Robo
Advisor offering for China Onshore Wealth management market. We look
forward to continuing these conversations.”
