Out of the 2.000 applications from 100 regions and countries, IPification, led by a Serbian team of developers, won first place as the best FinTech solution in the largest global pitch contest Jumpstarter 2021, funded by one of Hong Kong’s most successful corporations, Alibaba.
“Getting to the top ten startups in the competition of this scale was huge for us, but getting to the top four and winning an award for best startup in FinTech makes this one for the books,” said Stefan Kostic, IPification CEO.
Kostic thanked the organizers for giving them this opportunity, and Team IPification for being amazing, because this couldn’t be possible without their invaluable contributions.
Cindy Chow, Executive Director of Alibaba Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund said that “IPification is definitely a good example to demonstrate that truly great solutions don’t compromise, but instead find innovative ways to solve the age-old problems, in this case, in regards to mobile identity in FinTech”.
After winning the local competition in Serbia at the Elevator Lab challenge, IPification won the award for the best, most innovative FinTech solution at the regional level.
