Grab, Stripe, Tencent, WeBank and BigPay are also amongst the many visionaries at Money20/20 set to spark new strategies and drive the next surge of innovation. The event is set to showcase speakers from the largest cross- section of experts and influencers from Asia who will examine challenges and opportunities unique to each country, as well as the effects of changing technology and business models, more consumer choice and shifting profit margins. They’re bold, opinionated and not afraid to shake up the status quo.
Asia is one of the most exciting regions on the planet right now for fintech. Acknowledging its transformative role and the exciting developments it has jumpstarted, Tracey Davies, President, Money20/20 notes the need for a collaborative platform in facilitating its growth: “Asia is a diverse and dynamic region and we have seen it taking fintech forward at an unprecedented pace. Collaboration is key in accelerating fintech innovation and we are excited to create access and open opportunities for all, from the latest disruptors to the world’s largest incumbents”.
Designed and curated to empower participants with actionable, hyper-local and profitable insights, this year’s programme will champion 10 key themes including some of the hottest disruption battlegrounds driving Asia forward: Challenger Bank and Superapp Models, Social Seamless Retail and Payments Wars.
