Fintech Has Scaled. Now Comes the Hard Part.
Add to calendar

About This Session
The first decade of fintech was about proving that technology could disrupt financial services. The next is about building companies that can survive scale: navigating regulation, capital intensity, increasingly crowded markets, global expansion and the shift from payments products to full financial platforms and/or geographic expansion. Five founders and CEOs who have built fintech businesses across Asia and beyond debate what really separates a fintech that gets big from one that becomes indispensable.

About this session
A new map of opportunity is being drawn. As geoeconomic fault lines harden, monetary regimes shift and private markets outgrow public ones, trillions are on the move. Valuations are resetting, new corridors are opening and high-growth companies are seeking partners to scale. The advantage lies with those who move early, backed by trusted cross-border networks and well-regulated markets that give investors confidence and growth companies a clear path to raise, list and expand.
Drawing on institutional investing, banking and fintech investment, this session asks where the strongest returns lie, how markets and regulation can help growth companies scale, and how Artificial Intelligence is changing the way deals are sourced and financed. Learn how to turn uncertainty into opportunity and lead the next wave of growth. -

About this session
Every quantum conversation drifts toward the 2030s. This one stays in the present tense. Quantum builders explain what their machines and methods are doing this year for financial institutions: what is in production, what is in pilots, where classical computing remains essential, and what an institution can test in the next quarter.
