I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Prof Vasant DHAR and Prof Zhiguo HE for being the speaker for the IIDS FinTech seminar. There are over 150 registrations (including colleagues from oversea and local universities such as HKU, HKBU, HKCityU, HKLU, OUHK and UOWCHK) for the seminars. Their presentations are extremely informative, and the active participation illustrated the importance of the topic to our colleagues and students.
