Co-organised by Invest Hong Kong, the Monetary Authority, the Securities & Futures Commission and the Insurance Authority, the week-long event, themed Humanising FinTech, will highlight a golden opportunity to humanise fintech to reignite growth, build trust and financially empower society and business in the post-COVID-19 era.

It will also provide a reinvented virtual event experience with artificial intelligence-powered matchmaking, live chat networking opportunities and Hong Kong cultural side events.
