FSDC Industry Exchange Series – Realising the Potential of Blockchain in Advancing Hong Kong’s Financial Services Industry
Hong Kong, with its aspirations of becoming an international innovation and technology hub, is actively embracing innovative technologies to propel its growth and maintain its competitive edge. Among these technologies, blockchain technology emerges as a game-changer with immense potential to elevate various aspects across multiple industries, particularly the financial services industry. Leveraging Hong Kong's competitive advantages as an international financial centre with a robust business-to-business (B2B) infrastructure, blockchain technology presents an array of innovative solutions that can potentially transform traditional financial systems by enhancing efficiency and reducing transaction costs.
Recognising the significant potential of blockchain technology, the FSDC conducted a study to explore the role of this technology in advancing Hong Kong's financial services industry, with a particular focus on B2B interactions. The report puts forward key recommendations for fostering a thriving and supportive ecosystem. It promotes a synergistic approach involving the Government, industry and academia to stimulate blockchain adoption and drive its advancement in Hong Kong.

Our distinguished speakers will discuss the transformative power of blockchain technology and specific use cases relevant to Hong Kong's unique ecosystem, and, ultimately, strengthen Hong Kong’s stature as a leading hub for innovation and technology.
