Anthony Thomas and Maha El Dimachki will open the Insights2040 Annual Meetings. Insights2040 is GFTN's new revamped brand, where we bring together a year of dialogue, views and perspectives on what is shaping today's and tomorrow's future of financial services. The aim of Insights2040 annual meetings is to turn these perspectives into practical pathways for further research or concrete action.

Taking place at the start of Singapore FinTech Festival week, the Annual Meetings will convene senior leaders from central banks, regulators, financial institutions and technology partners to examine the forces shaping the next phase of global finance.

GFTN will share key findings and priorities emerging from a year of collaboration with its members and partners, examining how technology, geoeconomics, capital, talent and policy are reshaping the financial system. Discussions will span six themes:

• Accountability & Liability in Agentic Systems
• The Scaling Challenge in Tokenized Markets
• Shaping Tomorrow’s Innovation
• Global Frameworks and Shared Best Practices in Payments Chains
• Sovereignty & Resilience in a Rewired Financial System
• Preparing Finance for the Quantum Era

The Annual Meetings will also set out GFTN’s priorities for 2027, building on the work and insights developed over the past year.
