Singapore’s financial landscape is set to undergo a transformation as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) unveils Financial Sector Technology and Innovation 3.0 (FSTI 3.0). Committing a S$150 million budget to the scheme, MAS aims to drive innovation in finance using the latest technologies.
Taking a Closer Look
The Enhanced Centre of Excellence Track now includes Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) entities, enabling startups supported by CVCs to secure up to 50% funding, capped at S$2 million per project. Additionally, MAS collaborates with the industry in the Innovation Acceleration Track, inviting real-world testing of cutting-edge technologies and supporting trials for innovative FinTech solutions. FSTI 3.0 prioritises nurturing local FinTech talent, ensuring Singapore's leadership in global financial innovation.
Frontiers of Innovation
With FSTI 3.0, MAS collaborates with the industry to bring meaningful financial innovation, and retaining a steadfast focus on pivotal technological frontiers.
By embracing Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (AIDA), smaller financial firms gain a digital edge with MAS's support in obtaining Regulation Technology (RegTech) solutions. Meanwhile, the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) FinTech track emphasises ESG solutions, driving sustainable financial innovation through projects centred on ESG data, reporting, and analytics.

The Regulatory Technology ("RegTech") Grant aims to enhance the adoption and integration of RegTech solutions in Financial Institutions in Singapore, streamlining risk management and compliance processes through technology.
