The Korea Fintech Industry Association will work with Opennol and the Seoul Global Center to support foreign talent entering the domestic fintech industry and help startups secure staff.
The association said on Sunday it recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Opennol and the Seoul Global Center at O2 Tower in Seoul’s Yeouido district to strengthen fintech industry competitiveness and foster global talent.
Under the agreement, the three organisations agreed to cooperate on creating and nurturing fintech startups, supporting foreigners seeking jobs and starting businesses, strengthening capabilities in finance and fintech, and improving foreign talent’s access to financial services.
They plan to link the association’s member network, Opennol’s AI-based talent matching and employment support capabilities, and the Seoul Global Center’s expertise in supporting foreigners to connect fintech companies’ staffing demand with foreign job seekers.
Kim Jong-hyun (김종현), the association’s chairman and head of Kookmin Coupon, said it was important to identify strong talent and create an environment where they can demonstrate their abilities in the industry to ensure sustained growth and stronger global competitiveness in fintech.
