Under the terms of the partnership Ecosystm will design and facilitate a series of Leaders ThinkTanks at the Point Zero Forum taking place in Zurich Switzerland on the 21-23 June. The Point Zero Forum is jointly organised by Elevandi and the State Secretariat for International Finance. It is an invite-only gathering for global leaders from Central Banks, Banking CEOs, Institutional Investors, and founders and CEOs of some of the world’s largest and most influential organisations.

The in-person event will provide a platform for global leaders across the public and private sectors to drive the meaningful exchange of ideas and knowledge to advance FinTech and Web3.0 in the digital economy. Key topics of discussion include advances in Decentralised Finance, Embedded and Open Finance and Sustainable Finance, implications for policymakers, and opportunities for FinTechs.

The Leaders ThinkTanks will be open discussions among carefully curated leaders at the Point Zero Forum, where candid conversations will uncover how current and future developments in the FinTech and Web3.0 space are going to impact the business, regulatory, and investment outlook over the coming years.

Commenting on the announcement, Ecosystm CEO Ullrich Loeffler, said “Ecosystm has been organising Leaders ThinkTanks for many years, and we are excited to expand our partnership with Elevandi from the Singapore Fintech Festival to bring the Leaders ThinkTanks to their inaugural Point Zero Forum. We’re excited to provide a platform for the world’s leading central bank governors, regulators, banking CEOs, founders, investors and technology providers to have conversations about the new frontier of Web3.0 and associated technologies.”

Pat Patel, Managing Director, Elevandi added, “The Point Zero Forum is a great collaboration between Elevandi and Switzerland’s State Secretariat for International Finance to serve three key market needs. Firstly, to frame new ideas arising from Web 3.0, embedded finance and sustainability to drive business activity. Secondly to bring the leading founders together with the investor community, from venture capital, family offices and private equity, to drive commercial deals. And lastly, to create opportunities for the private sector to connect and shape the thinking in the public sector through roundtables, ThinkTanks and networking. Our partnership with Ecosystm plays a key role in advancing the dialogue between the public and private sectors to advance FinTech in the digital economy.”

I could not be more pleased to see Ulli take over the reins of the business and I am looking forward to enjoying his stellar success from the sidelines as his biggest cheerleader.

I am equally excited about the opportunity to build and scale our new Web3 venture, ‘Kampd’ that solves the B2B content and engagement challenge faced by enterprises, creators and professionals in this era of the knowledge economy.”

Loeffler adds, “My wholehearted thanks to Amit for his leadership and guidance over the years and for entrusting me with the next phase of growth for Ecosystm. It has been a journey we have thoroughly enjoyed together, and I look forward to leading the team through the next growth trajectory. Having achieved profitability at this early stage in our journey, my focus is on building scale and further bolstering our team with strategic new leadership hires over the next few months. Maintaining our culture of courage will remain a key priority to fulfil the team’s desire to continuously innovate and introduce research, content, and engagement solutions that align to our customers’ requirements.”

Partnership provides global access to world-class content, curated connections and creative experiences.

30 June 2021, SINGAPORE: Ecosystm, the disruptive technology research and advisory platform, has entered into an agreement with Constellar Venues, a subsidiary of Constellar Holdings (formerly known as SingEx-Sphere Holdings), in an engagement which will see the two parties collaborate on a series of Executive Think Tanks globally.

We look forward to introducing our customers to Constellar’s fantastic venues and world-class event production capabilities.”

Aloysius Arlando, Chief Executive (Venues), Constellar Holdings, added: “Curating experiences for the best business minds in the technology space is a huge privilege and we’re honoured to partner with Ecosystm for continuous engagement. We look forward to combining our hybrid event capabilities, enhanced venue standards in safe management and cross-border networks with Ecosystm’s thought-leadership to deliver a new standard of audience engagement and insights.”
