Denmark has been gaining a reputation as a fertile hub for financial technology and has now linked to Asia's major fintech centre.
Copenhagen Fintech and the Singapore Fintech Association have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, to kick-start the exploratory process between the associations.
This will include the potential scope of collaboration, identifying possible roadblocks and building a bridge between Singapore and Copenhagen.
