Regulation Asia has been at the forefront of the Regtech community in APAC; this inaugural event made up of pitch sessions, panels and fireside chats will facilitate a space where the Regtech community can come together to share the latest solutions alongside insights, networking and more
The Pitch!
Firms are encouraged to enter their Pitch! in one of the following categories. A panel of industry practitioners serving as judges working with our editorial team, will assess each entry to ensure it meets the high standards required to qualify for the in-person LIVE demo day.
You’ll get your allotted time in advance for when you’ll be in stage and you’ll need to be prepared! You’ll have 5 minutes to present followed by 2 minutes Q&A. You cannot go over the 5 minute mark, you will be cut off. We recommend a LIVE DEMO of your solution, this really showcases the product in the best light and complimented by the use-case and an introduction to the company and team. Be creative as you like on stage, and we welcome use of slides, props or multiple people to help tell the company/product story and vision.
We do not recommend that you play pre-recorded videos with sound/narration whilst a presenter is on stage.
We will ask successful firms to join us on 25 May 2023 in Singapore.
Submissions can be made in written form or via video submission. More details can be found on the Pitch! Regtech application page.
