During this event, we will have the privilege of delving into significant areas of interest, including:

• The Innovate Finance FinTech as a Force for Good Forum and Impact Investing: We will discuss and share the findings from this vital forum, hosted in London in October 2023, to gain a deeper understanding of the positive impact of FinTech on society and explore the potential and real-world applications of impact investing in the FinTech sector, where financial returns and societal benefits converge.
• The Future of FinTech in Debt Capital Markets: We will explore the current state of equity markets and FinTech funding, including market observations, future expectations, and funding strategies. This discussion will cover global regions, funding options, and tactics for success in the current market landscape.
• Comparing the Regulatory Barriers to Entry for FinTech in Asia and the UK: Engage in a constructive dialogue about the unique opportunities and challenges presented by financial regulators in FinTech hubs across Asia as well as the UK.

We believe that these discussions will provide valuable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of FinTech and its role as a catalyst for positive change.
