DBS bank in Hong Kong selected eight startups based on their ability to address specific areas of focus within the bank.  

The eight fintechs seeking to shape the future of finance with impactful solutions in risk management, as well as cybersecurity and more, kicked off this year’s DBS Accelerator programme under a new always-on format.

DBS Accelerator is a collaborative initiative between DBS Bank (Hong Kong) and Nest, a global innovation platform supporting entrepreneurs. The accelerator programme is housed in «The Vault», a state-of-the-art 5,000-square foot workspace in the heart of Wan Chai.

Hailing from across Asia and around the world, the eight startups are Avoka, Dathena Science, FinChat, Metisa, Netki, Perx Technologies, SearchInk, and Squirro. The chosen startups now have access to vast resources and mentor support, and are guided through their business growth and development.

They will follow in the footsteps of the programme’s alumni startups, all of which successfully secured funding support or expanded their business in Hong Kong as a result of their participation in DBS Accelerator.
