The sixth edition of the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) kicks off from 8 to 12 November.
As the world’s largest FinTech event, this platform provides a unique
opportunity for the global FinTech, innovation and business communities to connect, collaborate
and network.
The week-long SFF will feature more than 350 sessions, over 700 speakers, over 260
exhibitors, and 14 international pavilions. The event will be streamed ‘live’ to over 60,000
participants, including representation from more than 7,000 companies, government agencies,
educational institutions and organisations from over 130 countries.
The theme for SFF 2021 is “Web 3.0 and its impact on financial services”. Web 3.0 involves
the use of distributed ledger technology that will drive new decentralised infrastructures and
business models in the digital economy. There is great potential to harness Web 3.0 for more
efficient financial intermediation, and advance key objectives like sustainability and financial
inclusion. During the conference, global thought leaders will share their views on how Web 3.0
will shape new business models, and present new opportunities for building a sustainable future
in financial services and the digital economy.
SFF 2021 will also see the launch of a global knowledge initiative to support learning,
development and upskilling of SFF participants in Web 3.0. Participants will have an opportunity
to acquire a comprehensive understanding of Web 3.0 concepts, gain extensive insights from
over 100 industry experts from around the world, and be eligible to earn a digital Web 3.0
Knowledge Certificate in Financial Services issued by The Asian Institute of Digital Finance in
partnership with the National University of Singapore.
SFF 2021 will feature a large and diverse array of events, initiatives, experiential sessions
and activities.
Mr Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief FinTech Officer of the Monetary Authority of Singapore
(MAS), said, “This year, SFF has taken an unconventional approach in bringing a diverse set of
changemakers to our Web 3.0 agenda. As a result, new stakeholders will shape this year’s SFF
discussions, alongside impact-makers from central banks, policymakers and finance
professionals. Further, as part of our inclusion efforts, we are democratising the unique and
valuable content into a signature knowledge certification programme and a special SME day with
an upskilling programme.”
