This conference is in the 5th Fintech Education Series, which aims to promote financial technology education in Hong Kong. It is jointly organized by CUHK business school and CUHK Faculty of Engineering, and free of charge – everyone is welcome to attend. This event is part of the core agenda of the HK FinTech Week 2021, Asia’s most anticipated international financial technology event, looking to bring together more than 1.2 million viewers and 17,000+ attendees, who are executives, entrepreneurs, investors, regulators and academics from 100+ economies. We would like to take advantage of this opportunity to bring together the academia and industry participants, providing a platform to carry out fruitful and productive discussions, encourage the exchange of ideas and promote future collaboration opportunities. We also look to leverage on the 5 focus areas of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Fintech 2025 strategy to drive the fintech development of Hong Kong.
