The 6th annual Singapore Fintech Festival has launched today, kicking off the one-week event that will focus on financial services and third generation internet services Web 3.0.
Organized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF) will be held virtually with a focus on the impact of Web 3.0 on the financial sector.
The event features sessions with over 700 speakers streamed live to at last 60,000 participants from more than 130 countries.
Web 3.0
SFF will highlight the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, distributed ledger technology and more to drive new infrastructures and business models in the financial sector and the broader digital economy.
Web 3.0 is a third generation internet service that aims to be more autonomous, intelligent and open via data and machine learning. An example is Apple’s Siri which can interpret speech as questions or requests which it can then respond with a summarized answer based on information from search engines.
«This year, SFF has taken an unconventional approach in bringing a diverse set of changemakers to our Web 3.0 agenda,» said Sopnendu Mohanty, chief fintech officer at MAS. «As a result, new stakeholders will shape this year's SFF discussions, alongside impact-makers from central banks, policymakers and finance professionals.»
