Singapore FinTech Festival 2025 Kicks Off Wednesday, Marking 10th Anniversary Milestone

Organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), and Constellar in collaboration with the Association of Banks in Singapore, this year's festival operates under the theme "Technology Blueprint for the Next Decade of Finance."

The three-day event, beginning Wednesday, will feature over 800 speakers across more than 400 sessions, with participants exploring breakthrough technologies set to define the next era of global financial services. Key focus areas include AI-driven innovation, tokenisation frameworks, settlement assets including central bank digital currencies and stablecoins, quantum-resilient systems, and financial inclusion for 1.4 billion unbanked people worldwide.

"SFF 2025 represents a pivotal moment that will define the next decade of FinTech growth and transformation," said Kenneth Gay, chief fintech officer at MAS. "This gathering provides an opportunity for the global ecosystem to come together – to share knowledge, forge meaningful partnerships, and collectively redefine the way financial services are delivered globally."

The festival is hosting over 500 sponsors and exhibitors across six exhibition halls, featuring more than 40 international pavilions with stage programmes, networking lounges, and interactive experiences.

New Anniversary Features

To mark its 10th anniversary, SFF 2025 has introduced several new initiatives including a visual gallery celebrating a decade of FinTech milestones, a Time Capsule where participants can share predictions to be unveiled in 2035, and a Next Gen Leaders Programme to empower emerging innovators shaping the future of finance.

Gprnt, MAS's digital platform for sustainability disclosures, released its first SME Sustainability Barometer 2025 report in partnership with PwC, examining how 560 surveyed businesses can access sustainable finance and drive growth.

Global audiences unable to attend in person can tune into livestreams from three premier stages covering finance, technology, and policy discussions.

The main conference was preceded by the Insights Forum on November 10-11, which featured public-private roundtables, the Layer 2 Summit on digital assets and AI infrastructure, and thematic spotlights across key sectors. The Innovation Lab Crawl also ran concurrently, showcasing emerging technologies across 11 participating organisations in Singapore's FinTech ecosystem.

"The coming decade will focus on harnessing AI responsibly, scaling tokenisation safely, and preparing for a quantum-ready future," said Sopnendu Mohanty, Group Chief Executive Officer of GFTN.
