About Event

​Seoul Meets Hong Kong: Fintech Founders & Deals
K-Fintech Hong Kong Demo Day 2026 · A Hong Kong FinTech Week × StartmeupHK Festival side event

​Five of Korea’s most promising fintech founders are coming to Hong Kong with one goal: to meet the investors, banks and partners who can help them grow across Asia.

​Each company has been selected and mentored for three months, already works with leading Korean financial institutions such as Woori Bank, Samsung Securities, Hanwha Life and KB Financial Group, and arrives with a clear ask: a paid proof of concept, a distribution partner or a funding round.

​Join us for an afternoon of sharp pitches, direct Q&A and networking with Korea’s next fintech exporters.

​📍 Venue: The Harbourview, 2/F, The Function Room, Wan Chai
🕒 Time: Doors open 14:30 · Programme 15:00 – 17:30
