Dec 7 to 11, 2020. WeBank, the world's leading digital bank, virtually 
participated in the Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF) and the Singapore Week of 
Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2020, the world's first week-long 
round-the-clock, hybrid digital and physical event. It allowed audience access 
to over 650 speakers from the global innovation and tech community, 150 content 
partners, 200 sessions to engage participants and more than 900 exhibitors on 
the digital platform. 

WeBank has engaged in the SFF for the third year in a row. At SFF 2019, Prime 
Minister of the Republic of Singapore visited WeBank's booth. This year, WeBank 
brought its latest fintech achievements and explained its commitment to be a 
digitalization enabler in the era of digital economy. 

Henry Ma, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of WeBank, 
shared his insights of open consortium chain at the From 1 to 100 - The Future 
of Blockchain Consortium Building session. "The concept of Open Consortium 
Chain initiates an approach which allows for rapid development and deployment 
of blockchain applications and also leaves enough room for organic growth down 
the road," said Henry.

He also revealed the mutual recognition system of Macao blockchain health code 
and Guangdong health code. It is a typical digitalization case that adopted 
leading-edge technologies (or the new digital infrastructure) to build 
cross-border trusted collaborations in the digital economy era.

New digital infrastructure will catalyze the evolution of trust mechanism among 
businesses, which leads to deeper and wider trusted collaborations. Since its 
foundation, WeBank has researched and applied various digital infrastructure 
solutions, such as Federated AI Technology Enabler FATE, Open Consortium Chain 
platform FISCO BCOS, and one-stop open-source suitcase for big data platforms 
WeDataSphere. These open-source projects are gradually adopted by more 
communities of partners on their paths to digitalization. 

As a technology innovator in the world's leading digital bank league, WeBank 
stressed the theme "New Infrastructure for Digital Economy" with specific 
fintech capabilities and solutions on its virtual booths at the SFF x SWITCH
