Korea Fintech Week was first held in 2019. This year, due to Covid-19, it was decided to proceed with changing exhibitions online without cancellation. Due to this situation, the call for applications is unusually short, but we know there is a lot of Fintech expertise in Luxembourg so we are confident that we can find the most promising and ambitious innovations to take part in the unique opportunity!!
