2025 Festival Theme

Framing the next decade of growth

Taking place in Singapore on its 60th year of independence, this year marks a significant milestone: the 10th edition of the Festival. We’ll reflect on a decade of FinTech transformation while looking ahead at the opportunities and responsibilities that lie before us.

sff25_web_themes_image1-3-m
Defining an Era

Celebrating the Last Decade of Progress

 

This year’s Festival celebrates the last decade of progress: from real-time payments to digital public infrastructure. Innovations like Open Banking, super apps, and cross-border corridors such as PayNow-UPI have broadened access, while API-driven architectures and digital asset pilots are reshaping financial systems.

Corridor for Growth

Building the Future Pathways for Growth

 

AI, tokenization, and quantum computing will redefine how we interact with digital systems, unlock liquidity, and strengthen infrastructure. But how these technologies are deployed with trust, interoperability and inclusion will determine whether we build resilient, more connected systems.

Confronting Challenges

Addressing the Unresolved Challenges

 

Access to finance for SMEs remains a persistent challenge, with a global financing gap estimated at USD 5.2 trillion. Meanwhile, 1.4 billion people worldwide remain unbanked and lack essential financial services. Ageing populations add further demand for tailored retirement, healthcare, and wealth preservation solutions.

From open banking to cross-border corridors, watch how the festival turned ambition into architecture.
