The “3rd Macau-Hengqin Modern Finance Development Trend and Financial Technology Seminar” was held yesterday afternoon at the Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Centre (CPTTM) in Zape, with the event exploring fintech (financial technology) trends and opportunities in the Greater Bay Area (GBA).
Co-organised with the Macau Economic and Livelihood Alliance and featuring four invited experts from the mainland and Hong Kong as keynote speakers, the one-day event explored fintech (financial technology) innovations in the GBA and the transition from data infrastructure to AI (artificial intelligence) infrastructure, among other trending topics. Cutting-edge products and success stories were also discussed at the event.
In his speech, CPTTM Deputy Director-General Jack Chang (曾澤瑤) said: “Industrial integration and technological innovation between Hengqin and Macau play an important role and will help promote the appropriate diversification of Macau’s economy”. He added that it was hoped that the symposium would provide insightful views for the development of fintech.
Meanwhile, Macau Economic and Livelihood Alliance Deputy Director General Lei Iam Leong told reporters on the sidelines of yesterday’s event that the construction of a modern financial market requires hardware, software, and data. According to Lei, the mainland has made good progress in the related technological development, pointing out that top financial professionals were invited to talk at the symposium about their experiences.
He added that many local financial professionals and youths are also keen on engaging in the GBA’s development, stressing that the seminar aimed to provide them with learning opportunities.
