Collaboration between NUS and Stellar Development Foundation

The National University of Singapore (NUS) FinTech Lab and the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), a non-profit organisation that supports growing the open-source Stellar network, agreed to work on financial technology (FinTech) educational initiatives.
Supported by a generous gift from the Stellar Next-Gen program, the partnership will explore using blockchain and digital currencies to address societal challenges.
We are excited to collaborate with the NUS FinTech Lab on this opportunity to advance blockchain education and innovation in Singapore,” said Justin Rice, VP of Ecosystem at the Stellar Development Foundation. “The NUS FinTech Lab provides excellent resources for both industry practitioners and aspiring entrepreneurs, and working with them will give a new crop of students a chance to develop on Stellar and build the future of finance.”
“Digitisation is essential for enterprises to succeed, and it is crucial to provide companies with a foundation of talented people who have domain knowledge and experiences.” said Professor Mohan Kankanhalli, Dean of NUS School of Computing and Chairman of the NUS FinTech Lab Advisory Board.
“We provide experiential learning, and donations like this go toward inspiring mid-career professionals and fresh graduates to start exciting careers in FinTech,” said Associate Professor (Practice) Keith B. Carter, Director of the NUS FinTech Lab.
