The Future of Digital Finance: Infrastructure, AI & Regulation
The Future of Digital Finance: Infrastructure, AI & Regulation
Welcome
Digital finance is entering a new phase. Public payment rails, stablecoins, AI-enabled compliance and autonomous systems are reshaping how financial markets operate and raising important questions for businesses, financial institutions and regulators.
Join us at the INSEAD Asia Campus in Singapore on 9 October 2026 for a one-day conference bringing together academics, industry leaders and policymakers to examine the infrastructures and technologies transforming finance.
The programme will explore:
- How public and private payment infrastructures are evolving
- The role of stablecoins and digital assets in the financial system
- How AI is changing compliance, financial services and decision-making
- The opportunities and risks created by increasingly autonomous systems
- How regulation can keep pace with technological change
- What these developments mean for financial institutions, businesses and markets across Asia and beyond
Through keynotes, panels and discussions, the conference will connect current research with practical experience and policy perspectives. Participants will also have opportunities to exchange ideas and build connections with leaders working across finance, technology and regulation.
Registration will open soon and the detailed programme, speaker line-up will be announced shortly.
