Sponsorship FAQs
Who is The RemTECH Awards audience?
The RemTECH Awards ceremony will be hosted by UNDESA, The World Bank, and IFAD at the annual Global Forum on Remittance, Innovation, and Development (GFRID) 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This year GFRID is focusing on Asia-Pacific region, and the executives of central banks, NGOs, and money service businesses involved in the region can be expected to attend to discuss how the private and public sectors can better support the migrants remitting funds back to their countries of origins.
We will also invite the award finalists to The RemTECH Awards ceremony who will largely consist of technology startups and organizations with an emphasis on blockchain. For the popular vote, they’ll be promoting their work to all their fans and supporters. The RemTECH Awards marketing team will do the same.
What will sponsorship funds go towards?
We are determined to make the RemTECH Awards 2018 an even better success than last year, which received 36 entrants admitted into competition, 11 awards were given and 10 Mentions were presented by the Judges. Check the Book we distributed and the video of the results. However, this comes with the following expenses:
- Marketing: outreach, coordination, website development, and content for press, social media, and partnerships
- Travel and accommodations: we’d like to make it easy for judges, and ideally finalists, to attend GFRID 2018 in Kuala Lumpur so that they can benefit from the networking potential
- Organization: coordinating partnerships, sponsors, and entries can be a full-time job. We need to compensate our hard-working team accordingly
