Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026

Founder brief

Who should attend

Founders operating in fintech, artificial intelligence, deep tech, web3, green innovation, and digital assets will find the programming relevant. Teams seeking institutional backing or access to global venture capital across Asian markets gain direct exposure to active regional financiers.

What happens

Sessions run across the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and satellite locations in the city and Greater Bay Area. The schedule covers specialized forums addressing artificial intelligence, deep technology, digital assets, web3, and green innovation alongside structured opportunities to meet institutional investors.

Who's in the room

Participants encompass thousands of founders, institutional investors, and global venture capitalists. Confirmed speakers feature government officials like Algernon Yau, corporate executives including Alkie Gan of DBS Hong Kong and Abby Tam of EleBank, venture leaders such as Albert Shyy from Eurazeo, and startup founders.

How to prepare

Review the specific forum tracks early to target relevant sessions across the various venues. Prepare a crisp summary of your technology and traction tailored for both traditional financial institutions and sector-specific venture capitalists, and plan your inter-venue travel across the city in advance.
