So what differentiates the Singapore idea of the “hub”? After all, many countries use this concept to explain the synergy and convenience that arise from bringing all things relevant “under one roof ”. Perhaps the key difference lies in how the nation has used the “hub” as a launchpad for its FinTech aspirations…
