Meet Global Fintech Talent at Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026
Hong Kong, 2–3 November 2026
Global Fintech Talent will be in Hong Kong for Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026, meeting FinTech companies, investors and ecosystem partners building across Asia and Europe.
We specialise in helping FinTech businesses understand the talent market before entering a new country, identify the leaders they need locally, and build senior and specialist teams across borders.
Whether you are expanding from Hong Kong into Europe, from Europe into Asia, or across markets within Asia, we can help you plan the people side of that expansion before the first hire is made.
Building FinTech teams across Asia and Europe.
Entering a new market requires more than filling vacancies.
Before committing to a new jurisdiction, companies need to understand:
-
where the relevant talent sits,
-
what senior and specialist hires will cost,
-
which roles need to be hired locally,
-
which capabilities can be shared regionally,
-
how regulatory requirements affect the hiring plan,
-
which leaders can bridge headquarters with the new market.
Global Fintech Talent supports companies from the first market-entry discussion through to building the team that executes the expansion.
How we support international expansion:
Talent mapping and market intelligence.
Understand the talent landscape before making location or headcount decisions.
We provide market mapping, compensation intelligence, competitor analysis and insight into the availability of the leadership and specialist talent your expansion will require.
Executive and specialist search.
Partner-led search for senior and business-critical hires across:
-
Country Management and General Management,
-
Commercial and Partnerships,
-
Product,
-
Engineering and Technology,
-
Compliance and MLRO,
-
Risk,
-
Legal,
-
Operations.
Cross-border talent search.
We are not limited to one local candidate market.
Our network spans Europe and Asia, allowing companies to combine local market knowledge with experienced international FinTech talent.
Market-entry hiring advice.
We help companies assess which roles should be based locally, which can be regional, what compensation to expect, and where hiring may become a constraint on the expansion plan.
Complimentary International Expansion Talent Assessment.
As a Global Fast Track 2026 Service Champion, Global Fintech Talent is offering participating startups a complimentary International Expansion Talent Assessment.
For companies planning to enter or scale in a new market, the assessment includes:
-
an initial discussion about your expansion plans,

assessment of up to three priority roles,
-
local talent availability,
-
indicative compensation levels,
-
relevant regulatory hiring considerations,
-
likely hiring challenges,
-
tailored market research,
-
