APIdays Singapore 2020

South East Asia’s digital ecosystem is growing fast. It’s also getting more complex. The lines are blurring between finance, e-commerce, telecommunications and travel.

APIdays Singapore 2020 will dig deep into both the business and technology of APIs: how firms are building partner ecosystems, implementing API-first architectures, and migrating from monoliths to microservices.

APIdays is the leading industry tech and business series of conferences in APIs and the programmable economy.

Incumbents and startups alike are building marketplaces and connecting partners to offer their customers a seamless experience:

• Banks are building partnerships as diverse as investing, ecommerce, telecommunications, property and travel

• Insurers are becoming “plug-and-play” so partners can embed insurance into their customer’s journey

• Ride-sharing firms and ecommerce marketplaces are branching into payments

• In countries where people are more likely to have a smartphone than a credit card, telcos are leveraging their customer relationships to enable partners to deliver their services and collect payment

• Governments are licensing virtual banks, building real-time payments infrastructure, connecting trade, and driving “Government-as-a-Service”

Underpinning all this is that most versatile of building blocks: the API (Application Programming Interface).
