The program aimed to connect local and overseas technology providers with the banking industry to collaborate and innovate through the banking API. Banking API is the "bridge" between bank and technology providers, an interface to help serve the banking industry and end users like SMEs.
Eugene Hsia, Chief Corporate Development Officer of HKSTP, said: “The success of API EcoBooster highlights the enormous opportunities for both start-ups and established enterprises to jointly pilot various ideas and solutions in a fast and risk-free environment. As we embrace the new normal, the transformative power of innovation becomes even more apparent and effective. Open APIs propel us towards an era of rapid evolutions within the Fintech ecosystem and as an international financial centre, Hong Kong is at the forefront in driving such adoptions.
HKSTP is a tale of more than 1,000 technology companies, as well as the stories of over 9,000 R&D entrepreneurs, who are driving Hong Kong's innovation using our various platforms and infrastructure. We will continue to unlock new opportunities for innovators and business partners and together we will cement Hong Kong as a global centre of Fintech innovation.”

Committed to driving digital banking innovation for our customers, we are thrilled to see the enthusiastic response and inspiring submissions to this meaningful programme. This new level of crossover between banks and tech ventures has opened up many new possibilities. This paves the way for more co-creation to bring continuous breakthroughs to the financial services industry, making banking more accessible for customers in the long term.”
