Grand
Cayman (24 July 2019):
Omise Holdings (“Omise”) is proud to be the headline sponsor of
Youth.Code(Cayman) 2019, a new computer programming course for
budding coders and technologists.

Hosted
by Code(Cayman), Youth.Code(Cayman)
2019 takes place on 12–16 August 2019, from 9:00 am–2:00 pm at
Cayman Enterprise City, Strathvale House. The program is open to all
students between the ages of 12–17 who are interested in coding and
technology.

The
parent company of a leading payment gateway provider in Southeast
Asia,
Omise has donated 20 Dell Inspiron laptops to the program as part of
its commitment to helping Cayman position itself not only as the
leading jurisdiction for financial technology service providers but
as an established technology centre.

“We
believe that payment is for everyone and that everyone should be able
to access financial services. Youth.Code(Cayman) supports Omise’s
mission to nurture the next generation of technology experts globally
through training and education programs in the jurisdictions in which
we operate,” says CEO, Jun Hasegawa. “We believe not only in
investing in youth for the job market of tomorrow but empowering them
with the tools they need to build solutions locally.”

Omise
strongly believes that Cayman has the ingredients necessary to
support fintech unicorns (billion-dollar companies) and is looking to
expand its operations to the Cayman Islands in the near future. “As
the sixth-largest financial centre in the world and home to over $2
trillion in institutional capital, Cayman offers many of the
advantages of a modern city as well as the lifestyle, first class
talent and capital access that technology entrepreneurs and engineers
look for,” explains Hasegawa. “And while Cayman already inhabits
exceptionally talented lawyers, accountants and other professionals,
we’re excited to help support a new generation of developers on the
island to grow the financial technology sector.”

Code(Cayman)
is a registered non-profit organization founded in 2019 by the
Ministry of Community Affairs, Cayman Enterprise City, Walkers and
Cartan Group as an initiative dedicated to introducing more people in
the Cayman Islands to coding and enabling access to a burgeoning
global industry. Youth.Code(Cayman) is the first program of its kind
for local students and is also supported by Harneys.

“We
are passionate about making technology accessible to everyone,”
says Brandon Caruana, Director of Code(Cayman) and Managing Member of
Cartan Group. “We’re pleased to be able to support these bright
students as they explore how emerging technologies can help them find
employment in the future and reach their full potential—and we’re
grateful for Omise’s generous support to help bring the program to
life.”

Omise
provides strategic advisory services to its subsidiaries (Omise
Payment Gateway, OmiseGO and GO.Exchange) and raises funds on their
behalf. Currently, Omise (Payment Gateway) serves small, medium, and
global enterprises such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Toyota, and
DTAC. The firm is one of the fastest growing companies in Southeast
Asia and has been recognized by Forbes Japan as one of the top 10
best start-ups for two consecutive years.

By
combining leading technology proficiency with the experience and
expertise of Cayman’s government and financial institutions, Omise
believes that Cayman has the opportunity to create an integrated and
versatile infrastructure that will fuel economic growth, provide jobs
and establish Cayman as first-class innovative island.
