FinTech Youth Day 2026: 600+ youths, 1 vibrant industry, endless possibilities 🚀
On 27 July 2026, SIM hosted the FinTech Youth Day 2026 in partnership with the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) and the Singapore FinTech Youth Chapter (SFYC). Gracing the occasion was Mr Alvin Tan, Minister of State for Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of National Development, who helmed the fireside chat and engaged the audience about AI and the future of work, and how fintech is creating new opportunities for youths.
The event saw more than 600 youths coming together to learn about the vibrant fintech sector and network over a full day session featuring 20 employers, 5 workshops, and mentoring sessions with 12 industry leaders from leading organisations. There were also 2 panel discussions, of which one of them featured SIM Academy CEO, Ho Seong Kim as a panel speaker.
One of our SIM-University of London (Computer Science) student, Chan Zhe Ming also had the opportunity to showcase his personal project – a Finance Tracker Bot, to Mr Alvin Tan and earned tips from him on how to scale up and enhance his bot. We hope that all participants were energised by the meaningful conversations that took place between aspiring talents and the professionals shaping Singapore’s fintech landscape.
A huge thank you to SFA and SFYC for the partnership, and our sincere appreciation to the employer partners, panel speakers, mentors, workshop facilitators, and every student who showed up curious and ready to learn.
