Artem Duvanov, Director of Innovations, NSD, said:
The HSE’s Business Incubator created a great site that helps beginners in the FinTech sphere utilize the experience and expertise of major players for the industrial implementation of their ideas. Supporting young FinTech teams is a strategic area of our work, and the iCoinSoft project that NSD chose to mentor has a chance to become a significant platform in the global market for technological solutions in the financial world.
Igor Agamirzyan, Vice President, HSE, added:
Finances and managing them is the oldest information object in the history of humanity which gained its traditions and became conservative. New technologies are transforming the landscape of the financial world: business models, market leaders, and the roles and opportunities for regulators are changing. That is why the FinNet industrial market which focuses on decentralized financial systems and currencies has become one of the National Technological Initiative’s areas. The Higher School of Economics, as a young and modern university, is very interested in innovations, and the HSE Business Incubator’s focus on the Fintech sector is natural. We are happy that our project development initiative was supported by National Settlement Depository and other partners. And, of course, the iCoinSoft project has a great development outlook.
