LATTICE80, a global Fintech hub based in London, has been identifying key people that contribute to the Fintech industry as influencers through action.  Their recent list published on 10 July 2018 identifies the top 50 fintech influencers in Hong Kong "whom you must follow to keep in the know of latest developments and trends in the industry".  We're pleased to see Professor Douglas Arner, Kerry Holdings Professor in Law, and PhD candidate Janos Barberis (SuperCharger and FinTech Accelerator) were both recognised on this list.
