About this session
Complementing the policy dialogues across Insights2040 Annual Meetings, this Enterprise Singapore-powered session convenes financial institutions and technology builders together to what emerging technology looks like in practice.
Across three panels, industry leaders will share how AI is being deployed in live operations, how institutions are responding to increasingly sophisticated AI-enabled fraud and security threats, and how the financial sector is preparing for a quantum-safe future.
Through practical case studies and interactive discussions, participants will gain direct insights into the technologies, implementation priorities and partnerships shaping financial institutions’ roadmaps over the next eighteen months.
This session will also showcase capabilities from financial institutions and Singapore’s technology builders, offering international participants a direct pathway to connect with prospective technology and implementation partners.
