Mach D Trading Announces First University Partnership with UWE Fintech Society
We are thrilled to announce Mach D Trading’s first-ever university partnership with the UWE Fintech Society. This significant milestone was designed to expand fintech knowledge, provide hands-on experiences, and foster valuable industry connections for students
COMPANY UPDATES
How it all started
In October 2023, FinTech West initiated its second internship program with UWE's MSc FinTech students. Our CEO, Gerald Lee, project managed this initiative, leading to a valuable partnership. A group of enthusiastic interns recognised the need for a FinTech society at UWE to help others understand the industry. Despite the initial challenges of balancing studies with setting up the society, the team, with support from Gerald and other directors, showed remarkable effort and creativity. They handled everything from logo design and social media marketing to establishing a committee and planning six months of workshops and events.
