(Hong Kong, 23 September 2020) – beNovelty, a local tech startup in Hong Kong, will host the first international API event, “Apidays,” uniting over 40 leading figures from sectors such as banking and technology—including representatives from IBM, HSBC, Alibaba Cloud, and Xero. As part of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s initiative to promote open APIs in the banking sector, this online gathering aims to explore API applications and trends in finance.

Since its inception in 2015, beNovelty has been recognized for its commitment to enhancing collaboration between businesses and third-party service providers (TSPs), winning the IFTA Fintech Achievement Platinum Award in 2019. Having partnered with HSBC and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks to launch the “API EcoBooster Program,” beNovelty has enabled over 30 fintech startups to develop open APIs and discover innovative solutions.

Recognizing the challenges in adopting open APIs—such as significant development costs and limited market information—beNovelty introduced “OpenAPIHub” in 2018; a one-stop platform aimed at streamlining the API development process. This year, they will publicly launch OpenAPIHub, offering consulting services and facilitating the matchmaking of businesses with appropriate API technologies, significantly reducing project timelines from months to weeks. OpenAPIHub distinguishes itself from other platforms by catering to various industries, promoting collaboration beyond just the banking sector, and ensuring users can navigate the technical and investment barriers associated with API integration.
