DGB Financial Holds Online Seminar with Local Fintech Companies

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] DGB Financial Group announced on the 11th that it jointly held the ‘Regional Fintech Company Revitalization Seminar’ with the Korea Fintech Support Center to promote the revitalization of regional fintech companies struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

To prevent COVID-19, the seminar was held online on the afternoon of the 10th.

During the discussion, opinions were raised that it is necessary to foster a competitive fintech ecosystem in regional areas by utilizing non-face-to-face channels and networks suited to the untact era, as the fintech ecosystem is concentrated in the metropolitan area.

A DGB Financial official said, “We hope that this online seminar, conducted for regional fintech companies facing difficulties such as a decline in startup investment sentiment due to the prolonged COVID-19 and worsening domestic and international economic conditions, helped stakeholders find new opportunities.” He added, “DGB Financial, which operates Pium Lab, the region’s first fintech lab, is striving to create a differentiated ecosystem in line with the government’s ‘Digital New Deal’ agenda, and plans to hold a matching demo day between nurturing startups centered on Pium Lab and excellent venture capitalists by the end of the year.”
