Capital Pioneer is on the ground in Tokyo for the duration of the 2025 GFTN Forum, taking place from 3-7 March 2025.
Promising a dynamic exploration of fintech innovation and the future of global financial ecosystems, day one is packed with insight, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and technologists.
The day begins with a virtual welcome address by Yuriko Koike, Governor of Tokyo, who will discuss the theme of “Building Future Financial Corridors.” This sets the stage for a host of thought-provoking keynote sessions.
Day one will also feature a deep dive into strategies for artificial intelligence and quantum technology, as well as a discussion on the Japanese and global macroeconomic outlook for 2025.
One of the highlights of the day will be a panel discussion on “Wallets, Identity, AI, and Cross-Border Payments: The (R)Evolution.” It features speakers from Mastercard, NPCI International, Ant International, and neobank, Toss
Topics such as blockchain, digital identity, and AI-driven solutions are expected to dominate the conversation on day one, and Capital Pioneer will be capturing these valuable insights shaping the future of payments and financial services.
For readers unable to enjoy the networking opportunities, Capital Pioneer will also be bringing you interviews from the conference floor, including vox pops and interviews with commercial partners.
With a focus on innovation, collaboration, and actionable insights, the GFTN Tokyo promises to be a hub of ideas and strategies.
