The HSBC-ASTRI RDI Lab is located at ASTRI’s facility at Hong Kong Science Park, supported by its research & development (R&D) team and hardware/software IT infrastructure. The HSBC-ASTRI RDI Lab has mobilised FinTech development via exploratory activities in areas like artificial intelligence, behavioural / biometrics authentication, big data analytics, blockchain, cybersecurity and internet finance. The co-operation progress of different developments is positive and some of our development are ready for deployment.
