Ready to see how tech meets global strategy? From Oct 23–25, Shanghai will host the 2025 Bund Summit, co-organized by the China Finance 40 Forum and Tsinghua University. Under the theme "Navigating Global Transformation: New Order, New Tech," this three-day event will spotlight how emerging technologies are shaping our world, from AI-powered finance to blockchain-driven supply chains. 🚀
Why it matters: With 21 roundtable discussions and 11 closed-door sessions, leaders from both the Chinese mainland and emerging markets will dive into big topics—think digital currencies, green finance, and data governance. Over 120 policymakers, academics, and senior executives will share their insights, reflecting diverse stages of growth and priorities. 🌎✨
Tech at the core: This year’s summit breaks down the full cycle of innovation—technology, application, impact, and governance. Imagine a panel on how AI chatbots can help small merchants in Jakarta offer 24/7 customer support, or a session on regulating ride-hailing apps across Southeast Asia. These real-world examples show tech moving off the whiteboard and into our daily lives. 💡
What to watch: Expect discussions on:
- Digital currencies & e-wallets: How central banks and startups collaborate.
- Green fintech: Funding Asia’s next wave of clean energy projects.
- Data governance: Balancing innovation with privacy and trust.
For young pros and tech enthusiasts across South and Southeast Asia, the Bund Summit offers a front-row seat to ideas shaping tomorrow’s economy and lifestyle. Stay tuned—this is where new order and new tech converge! 🌐🔥
