Also tagging along with the NEM team were two of NEM’s eco-system partners, Proxima X and Omniaz, who were there to showcase their use cases that were on NEM or based on the NEM blockchain. Omniaz especially had the opportunity to showcase their BevTech solution ahead of their official launch on 1st December. “The Fintech Festival was a great success for Omniaz and our Smart Bottles. People were able to experience firsthand the power of NEM’s Catapult in connection with IoT’s; something very special for a lot of attendees. It was also the perfect opportunity to gather direct feedback before our public launch on the 1st of December together with Wine Connection at their Wine Fair in Singapore and then later in Malaysia.” — Marc Giovannini (COO & Co-Founder Omniaz) The three-day conference between 12th to 14th November saw a huge crowd hitting Singapore Expo and the NEM booth itself had its fair share of visitors curious about blockchain and NEM. In fact, a high number of tertiary students were seen at the NEM booth, eager to seek advise on how to get blockchain onto their projects. With the high number of students expressing interest in blockchain and NEM, there is hope that there will be more adoption in the future from these future graduates.
