Finance & Fintech

Finance and fintech are converging—capital structures are changing, technology is reshaping infrastructure, and competitive dynamics are shifting globally.

The finance track examines how capital moves: venture capital and private equity models, pre-exit liquidity mechanisms creating alternatives to traditional exits, investment structures enabling growth without forcing early sales, and the role of strategic versus financial capital in scaling companies.

The fintech track covers where innovation is happening: digital assets including real-world asset tokenization and blockchain infrastructure, China's digital finance ecosystem and what's replicable elsewhere, global payment systems and cross-border infrastructure, AI in risk assessment and compliance, and regulatory frameworks that enable innovation.

Sessions bring together investors, founders, regulators, and corporate strategists examining what's working, what's changing, and where capital meets technology.
