On 16th May, GIEOM will compete against 4 other growth-stage innovators at the Innotribe Challenge Showcase in Singapore. The winners from Singapore will go on to compete against the winners from New York and London in the grand finale at Sibos, SWIFT’s annual conference, in Dubai in September.
GIEOM was selected as one of the 5 semi-finalists from hundreds of applications to enter the Challenge by Innotribe and a panel of industry experts. GIEOM will pitch its solution to a panel of the financial industry’s leading angels, VC’s and decision makers at the Singapore Challenge Showcase.

John Santhosh, CEO of GIEOM, says “GIEOM has helped banks globally increase revenue, reduce operational errors, costs and risks, and improve customer service.

Matteo Rizzi, Co-founder of Innotribe, says “I’m delighted to announce GIEOM as a semi-finalist and look forward to discovering more about the business. This year’s semi-finalists have assessed the developments and trends in the region and have identified opportunities in the market. The entrants have each demonstrated a forward-thinking and innovative approach to the financial sector and have developed start-up businesses which could have profound impacts on the future of the industry. I’m extremely excited to give GIEOM the opportunity to pitch its ideas to some of the top decision makers in the industry.”
