It added that the main physical conference, scheduled for November 2 and 3, will bring together more than 300 distinguished speakers and 540 exhibitors.

 

Acting Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Joseph Chan said that Hong Kong’s fintech industry is entering a new era, one where the focus is not solely on technology but also its real-life application.

 

“We are excited to witness this transformation and its impact on the financial ecosystem,” he said.

 

Exhibits at the main conference will include immersive technologies, such as augmented and virtual reality devices, that will demonstrate the potential of the metaverse to connect businesses and promote Hong Kong’s culture.
