4 August 2022

As a leading player on fintech sector, Channel VAS will have a “starring role” at 4YFN (4 Years From Now), the innovation platform of Mobile World Congress, enabling startups, investors, corporations and public institutions to discover, create and launch new ventures together.

During the event, our founder and CEO, Bassim Haidar, will take the stage to share with startups his rich knowledge and experience on the fintech field. Mr Haidar is going to emphasize on the different role fintech companies should play in emerging markets, since the majority of people lack formal banking.

Through Big Data and cutting edge proprietary analytics tools Channel VAS is able to provide state of the art services, despite the gap of technological and financial infrastructure of underdeveloped regions.

It offers unique connecting initiatives including insightful onstage talks, technical workshops, custom networking activities, community outreach and open innovation programs, among others.
