The Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF) 2026 will take place from 18 to 20 November 2026, bringing together global technology and finance leaders to examine the structural forces reshaping the global financial system.
Organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), in collaboration with the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS), SFF provides a global platform for policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, technology companies, investors and entrepreneurs to exchange ideas and shape the future of finance.
SFF 2026 will examine five forces rewiring global finance: technology, geoeconomics, capital, talent and policy.
Discussions on technology will explore how financial institutions can harness AI to improve productivity and growth while addressing AI-enabled scams, cyber threats and the emerging quantum challenge.
The geoeconomics agenda will look at shifting trade, investment and capital flows, the emergence of new economic corridors, and how financial networks can support trade and economic resilience.
On capital, participants will examine whether productivity gains and revenue growth can sustain the investment boom that has pushed AI-connected firms to around 40% of S&P 500 market capitalisation.
Discussions on talent will focus on how financial institutions can equip their workforces with the skills and capabilities needed to remain competitive as AI transforms jobs.
Meanwhile, the policy agenda will explore how governance and risk frameworks can keep pace with technological developments while enabling innovation without compromising trust and resilience.
Special programmes across the three Festival days include Founders Peak, featuring TED-inspired sessions where global founders share their personal journeys and lessons with investors and the wider fintech community.
