China making global mark in fintech

China is taking the lead in global financial technology innovation, and more international collaboration is expected to empower business growth and promote fintech inclusion to benefit the world, experts said recently in Shanghai.

Organizers of the Singapore Fin-Tech Festival and Hong Kong FinTech Week, two of the world's top fintech galas that are celebrating their 10th anniversaries this year, gathered for the first time at the 2025 Inclusion Conference on the Bund, which ran from Sept 10-13 in Shanghai.

As technology constantly drives fintech innovation and boosts international collaboration, both organizers agreed that China, as a global leader of fintech innovation, can positively contribute to the global fintech ecosystem, connecting more people in an inclusive manner.
