"Deeply impressed by the inaugural edition of the GFTN Forum, Japan.  I engaged in impactful discussions on emerging trends and connected with Japan's vibrant fintech community. The historic Kanda Myojin Shrine, described by Minister Taro Kono as the “oldest fintech setup 1000+ years ago,” provided a unique backdrop that fostered meaningful connections.

This forum didn’t just spark ideas, it highlighted the urgent need for a more inclusive and sustainable ecosystem. Together we can make a real difference."
