We spoke to them about how innovation is the lifeblood of growth and how, in today's environment, collaboration is key to innovation.

APIX enables innovation and collaboration in multiple ways. A great example is the PolyFinTech hackathon hosted sometime back to nurture FinTech talents across Singapore to meet the rapidly changing needs of the financial services sector.

Students from five local #polytechnics developed #fintech prototypes using Open APIs from the industry to address real-world problems, such as more efficient GST refunds for tourists, ai-based e-payment services for hawker centres, and peer-to-peer microlending platforms for #students.

Through this hackathon and other such initiatives, APIX helps nurture FinTech talent in educational institutions by providing them exposure to real-world challenges. It also helps business organizations crowdsource innovation and get powerful ideas to address both challenges and opportunities.
