Given our experience in the FinTech sector; not only in operating a P2B lending platform, but also building and maintaining client crowdfunding platforms; we and our sister company, White Label Crowdfunding, were invited to the third CrowdConference in Minsk. Daniel Rajkumar, founder and CEO of the two companies, represented the companies at the event, accompanied by Kylie Greeff, our Legal and Compliance Manager. It was a dynamic, well-attended event, attended by a broad range of international entrepreneurs, government delegates, academics and traditional financiers. Day one of the conference focused on the current hot topics of AI, Big Data and Blockchain in FinTech, whilst day two concentrated on The Crowd Economy. Attendees enjoyed talks from of Mariya Dokshina, founder of Russian crowdfunding firm, Boomstarter; Andrey Golub, CEO of virtual reality company, ELSE Corp; and Dariusz Jemielniak, a member of the board of trustees of Wikimedia Foundation. Crowdfunding in Belarus is growing fast, but is arguably a few years behind that of the more mature European market members. Currently, crowdfunding in Belarus is largely limited to reward-based crowdfunding, and its development appears to be closely linked to the development of the same market in Russia. The enthusiasm and engagement of the delegates and speakers at the CrowdConference bodes well for the future of the Belarussian crowdfunding and Fintech industry. Daniel commented: “I am looking forward to working closely with a number of the contacts we made at the event. We hope to further grow our network of platforms and international partners, and develop new features that will continue to give our clients a leading edge when setting up their own platform.”
