WeBank has engaged in the SFF for the third year in a row. At SFF 2019, Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore visited WeBank’s booth. This year, WeBank brought its latest fintech achievements and explained its commitment to be a digitalization enabler in the era of digital economy.
Henry Ma, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of WeBank, shared his insights of open consortium chain at the From 1 to 100 – The Future of Blockchain Consortium Building session. “The concept of Open Consortium Chain initiates an approach which allows for rapid development and deployment of blockchain applications and also leaves enough room for organic growth down the road,” said Henry.
He also revealed the mutual recognition system of Macao blockchain health code and Guangdong health code. It is a typical digitalization case that adopted leading-edge technologies (or the new digital infrastructure) to build cross-border trusted collaborations in the digital economy era.
New digital infrastructure will catalyze the evolution of trust mechanism among businesses, which leads to deeper and wider trusted collaborations. Since its foundation, WeBank has researched and applied various digital infrastructure solutions, such as Federated AI Technology Enabler FATE, Open Consortium Chain platform FISCO BCOS, and one-stop open-source suitcase for big data platforms WeDataSphere. These open-source projects are gradually adopted by more communities of partners on their paths to digitalization.
