Together, we will continue to collaborate with various sectors to meet the challenges ahead and collectively build a more inclusive, efficient, and sustainable future for the financial services industry."

Cyberport co-hosted a thematic workshop titled "Accelerating Financial Innovation: Hong Kong's Journey Towards a Digital-First Financial Centre". The workshop highlighted Hong Kong's strategic initiatives in embracing advanced financial technologies and nurturing an innovative financial ecosystem. The session featured discussions on the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's Sustainable Finance Action Agenda, which aims to achieve net-zero emissions and catalyse sustainable finance development.
