SFF 2025: Singapore Charts Technology Roadmap for Global Finance Transformation

SINGAPORE, November 9, 2025 – The Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) 2025, returning for its 10th edition from November 12 to 14, is set to explore how next-generation technologies—from artificial intelligence (AI) and tokenisation to quantum computing—will redefine the financial landscape over the next decade.

Organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), and Constellar, in collaboration with the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS), this milestone event underscores Singapore’s position as a leading hub for fintech innovation and cross-sector collaboration.

Kenneth Gay, Chief FinTech Officer at MAS, said: “SFF 2025 represents a pivotal moment that will define the next decade of FinTech growth and transformation. It’s an opportunity for the global ecosystem to share knowledge, forge partnerships, and collectively redefine how financial services are delivered worldwide.”

A Decade of Innovation, A Blueprint for the Future

Under the theme “Technology Blueprint for the Next Decade of Finance,” this year’s SFF will convene over 800 speakers across 400 sessions and welcome 500 sponsors and exhibitors from more than 100 economies.

The festival will delve into how emerging technologies are enabling smarter, safer, and more inclusive finance. Key focus areas include:

AI’s Next Frontier – Driving trusted and responsible innovation for inclusive finance.

Tokenisation – Advancing programmable ledgers and secure global frameworks.

Settlement Assets – Examining the evolving roles of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, and tokenised deposits.

Quantum Finance – Preparing the industry for quantum-resilient systems.

Financial Inclusion – Expanding digital infrastructure to connect 1.4 billion unbanked individuals.

Sopnendu Mohanty, Group CEO of GFTN, emphasised the importance of collaboration across policy, finance, and technology: “The coming decade will focus on harnessing AI responsibly, scaling tokenisation safely, and preparing for a quantum-ready future that can withstand global shocks.”

Celebrating a Decade of FinTech Progress

As part of its 10th anniversary celebrations, SFF 2025 will unveil new features, including:

SFF 10th Anniversary Gallery, showcasing a visual timeline of fintech evolution;
