Valiant, a leading Australian business loan marketplace, has been selected to join a delegation of leading Australian fintech and cyber security startups to a curated, 10-day intensive program at the internationally renowned Tel Aviv Landing Pad.

Valiant’s selection for the showcase event is to help  explore further opportunities in fintech  as well as to help build Sydney’s reputation as a leading Asia Pacific innovation hub.

Federal Minister for Industry, Resources and Energy Anthony Roberts, announced the delegation today at NSW Parliament House saying: “NSW is without question Australia’s startup state, with about half of all startups listing the state as their primary place of business and with major strengths in the fintech and cyber-security sectors. This is a fantastic opportunity for some of our best and brightest fintech and cyber startups to engage with other global players and to showcase NSW’s capabilities in these sectors.” .

Molloy said: “Australia is becoming a hot bed of activity for fintech, and we are happy to share our key learnings and insights with the like minded Israeli tech and investment community. By bringing together the best entrepreneurs and multinationals from our two communities, we aim to forge strong, business relationships.”

Cotton added: “We are absolutely thrilled to have been invited to participate in the Tel Aviv Landing Pad program. Tel Aviv is fast earning its place as a leading global fintech hub and the program provides a fantastic opportunity to gain insight into the impact fintech is having on financial services in other regions. We have been keenly watching the fintech scene in Israel evolve and have no doubt there is a huge amount we can learn there and bring back to the Australian fintech ecosystem.”
