The Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) 2026 returns from 18 to 20 November, bringing together global policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, technology companies, investors and entrepreneurs to discuss the forces reshaping the global financial system.
This year’s festival will focus on five key areas: technology, geoeconomics, capital, talent and policy. Discussions will explore how financial institutions can adopt AI while addressing cybersecurity threats, how changing trade and investment flows are reshaping financial networks, and whether productivity gains from AI can sustain current investment levels. The programme will also examine workforce transformation and the regulatory frameworks needed to balance innovation, trust and financial resilience.
The three-day event will feature several dedicated programmes:
- Founders Peak: TED-inspired sessions featuring global founders sharing their experiences and lessons with investors and the FinTech community.
- Investor Hours and Capital Meets Policy Dialogue: Meetings connecting investors, founders and policymakers to discuss strategies and investment opportunities.
- SFF MeetUp: A pre-scheduled business meetings programme facilitating introductions between festival participants.
- Global FinTech Hackcelerator: A platform for early-stage innovators offering mentorship, investor access and a Demo Day prize pool.
- International Pavilions and Exhibition: A multi-hall showcase of financial institutions, technology providers, startups and emerging industry solutions.
The festival will be preceded by the Insights2040 Annual Meeting (IAM) on 16–17 November at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre. Formerly known as the Insights Forum, this invitation-only gathering will bring together senior public- and private-sector leaders to address technology challenges and priorities shaping the future of financial services.
