Meet Global Fintech Talent at Singapore FinTech Festival 2026
Singapore, 18-20 November 2026 | Singapore EXPO
Global Fintech Talent will be back in Singapore for Singapore FinTech Festival 2026, meeting FinTech companies, founders, investors and ecosystem partners building across Asia and Europe.
Singapore is one of Asia's key hubs for FinTech and financial services. We help companies understand the talent market before entering a new country, identify the leaders and specialists they need locally or regionally, and build senior and specialist teams across borders.
Whether you are expanding from Singapore into Europe, entering Singapore from Europe, or building a wider APAC team, we can help you plan the people side of that expansion before the first hire is made.

FinTech recruitment and executive search across Singapore and APAC.
Building successfully in a new market requires more than finding candidates. Companies need to understand where the right talent sits, what it costs, which roles need to be local, and how the hiring market differs from the one they already know.
Global Fintech Talent supports companies entering Singapore, building regional APAC teams and expanding between Asia and Europe.
We can help with:
-
local and regional talent availability,
-
salary and compensation benchmarking,
-
talent mapping and competitor intelligence,
-
local versus regional hiring strategies,
-
regulatory and mandatory hiring considerations,
-
leadership and specialist talent identification,
-
executive and specialist search.

How we support international expansion through Singapore
Talent mapping and market intelligence.
Before committing to a new market, we can map the relevant talent pools, likely compensation levels, competitor hiring activity and availability of the specialist skills a company will need.
Executive and specialist search.
We recruit senior and specialist talent across leadership, commercial, partnerships, product, engineering, technology, compliance, risk, legal and operations.
Cross-border hiring between Asia and Europe.
Our networks span Singapore and the wider APAC region as well as major FinTech markets across Europe. This allows us to support Asian companies building in Europe, European companies expanding into Asia, and international FinTechs creating teams across both regions.
Market-entry workforce planning.
We help companies think through which roles should be hired locally, which can operate regionally, the order in which key hires should be made, and any regulatory or market-specific hiring considerations that could influence the expansion plan.
Complimentary International Expansion Talent Assessment.
Companies planning to enter or scale in a new market can request a complimentary International Expansion Talent Assessment from Global Fintech Talent.
The assessment is designed to provide practical talent intelligence before a company commits to building its local team.
It can include:
-
an initial discussion about expansion plans,
-
one target market,
-
up to three priority roles,
-
local talent availability,
-
indicative compensation levels,
-
relevant regulatory hiring considerations,
-
likely hiring challenges,
-
local versus regional hiring options,
-
tailored market research,
-
a follow-up recommendations session.
