Quantum Migration: Coordinating the World's Next Cryptographic Transition

The question is no longer whether organisations should prepare for post-quantum cryptography, but how they can do so together. With NIST's standards finalised, global regulators setting migration timelines, and supervisory expectations rapidly emerging, financial institutions are moving from planning to execution.
Yet cryptographic migration is fundamentally a coordination challenge. Financial systems depend on interconnected institutions operating across borders, where security is only as strong as the least-prepared participant. Divergent regulatory timelines, legacy infrastructure, and uneven adoption risk creating fragmented trust across payment networks and financial ecosystems.
Bringing together central banks, financial institutions, and technology leaders, this session explores how the industry can coordinate one of the largest cryptographic transitions in history—balancing resilience, interoperability, and regulatory alignment while avoiding a patchwork of incompatible migrations.
