Panel Focus

• How will there be a convergence of blockchain and AI, with smart contracts getting smarter based on underlying data and analytics to feed them with an AI enhancement loop?
• How will more fragmentation will be addressed given the traditional world and new world given multiple blockchains needing to coexist?
• How will centralised and decentralised finance intersect?
• How is ESG is being ultised effectively in asset management and private banking leveraging Fintech?
• How are corporates innovating from the inside out and from the outside in through collaborations with e.g. start-ups and other players?

Other questions:
• What do you see as the key capital markets trends in 2021 leveraging Fintech and their disruptive impact?
• How are B2B and B2C business models converging?
• How will capital markets go from analogue to digital harnessing the true power of blockchain and digital assets?
o How is digitisation is taking hold in the world of exchange trading and capital markets and what market participants can do to ensure they are ahead of the curve?
o What are the implications for market participants that embrace digitisation, in terms of strategies and bottom lines?
o What are the legal and regulatory issues that venues and participants need to be aware of? How can the cross jurisdictional nuances be best addressed given different legal systems and regulation? How will the regulatory community respond and what will that mean for the future of exchange trading?
o How can trading venues and exchanges avoid falling into the trap of replicating old models as they move into digital trading?
o How do Security Token Offerings (STOs) work and what advantages do they bring?
• How will use of digital currencies and alternative forms of digital assets with seamless smart contract driven cross border exchange between them as well as their exchange with goods and services result in less frictional cost and more efficiency?
• How will this lead to greater opportunities not just for governments and institutions, but also for the individual fuelling an Internet of People (IoP) for the masses as opposed to merely an Internet of Things (IoT)?
• How can new technologies ensure users control over their information and data finally giving governments and their citizens ownership over the digital information they create and the economic value that derives from it?
• How will this help achieve Society 5.0’s goals of a better society aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)?
• The advent of new technologies, including Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and Quantum computing, is greater than ever before and enabled by an increase in cloud computing. I believe we will see greater convergence of these technologies (e.g. blockchain smart contracts driven by data and AI) to foster a fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). But how does one transition to “Society 5.0” from this?
• How can Society 5.0 addresses a number of key pillars: Infrastructure, Fintech (including blockchain), Healthcare, Logistics and AI?
• Which nations will harness this effectively to become the super societies of the future?
• How will this take Fintech to the next level, reinventing the way financial services are conducted and drive business enablement and positive social impact?
