The Platinum Ltd at Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025

The Platinum Ltd at Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025: Fostering Growth, Collaboration, and Sector Transformation

As Hong Kong FinTech Week and the StartmeupHK Festival concluded their landmark 10th anniversary edition, The Platinum Ltd led by Managing Director Ms. Mary Mendoza reaffirmed its commitment to fostering strategic growth, strengthening cross-border collaboration, and helping clients in the casino, hospitality, and tourism sectors harness the transformative power of fintech, green finance, and artificial intelligence.

Held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the event drew over 37,000 participants, 800 speakers, and 700 exhibitors from more than 100 economies. Ms. Mendoza actively participated in high-level conferences, curated meetings, and exhibition engagements, representing The Platinum Ltd and its global consulting partners with advisory excellence and regional leadership. Her presence underscored the firm’s dedication to connecting with overseas markets and aligning innovation with client competitiveness.

Chief Executive John Lee opened the week with a powerful message: “Hong Kong is made for collaboration. Built for innovation for companies, entrepreneurs, investors and professionals like you.” He emphasized Hong Kong’s revitalized IPO market and its role as a “super connector” for East-meets-West innovation.

Finance Secretary Paul Chan echoed this sentiment, highlighting digitalization as a transformative force in financial services. In his keynote, Chan emphasized that technologies like AI and blockchain enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and promote financial inclusion all while requiring robust governance to address risks such as algorithmic bias and data privacy. His remarks reinforced the relevance of fintech not only for banking but also for sectors like hospitality and tourism, where personalization, automation, and secure transactions are increasingly vital.

Panel discussions throughout the week explored emerging technologies and their real world applications. In one session, Ant Group Chairman Eric Jing and Primavera Capital CEO Fred Hu discussed the rapid adoption of generative AI across financial services from customer facing account managers to real-time global settlements. These innovations offer transferable value to the casino and hospitality industries, where AI can streamline guest services, optimize resource allocation, and enhance customer engagement.

The Platinum Ltd identified five strategic imperatives during the week:

• Bridging overseas markets with tailored advisory for casino, hospitality, and tourism

• Strengthening client competitiveness through fintech and AI integration where applicable

• Catalyzing sustainable partnerships across finance and green finance ecosystems for new project development

• Translating innovation into actionable growth for clients navigating digital transformation

• Amplifying regional intelligence to guide investment, policy, and operational decisions globally through a trusted network of consulting partners

  
  

A standout moment was Ms. Mendoza’s interaction with Samantha, Finoverse’s AI-powered and world-first community host, who facilitated new collaborations and exemplified the future of intelligent networking.

The event also spotlighted Women in AI, with panels and showcases celebrating female leadership in tech. These sessions emphasized the importance of inclusive innovation a principle The Platinum Ltd embraces in its advisory work, ensuring diverse perspectives shape strategic outcomes.

With over 1,200 fintech companies now operating in Hong Kong, The Platinum Ltd remains committed to helping clients evolve, adapt, and lead. This year’s participation marks a pivotal step in shaping the future of cross-sector innovation.
