The conference aims to provide a platform for multidisciplinary knowledge spillovers among academics and practitioners interested in the development of entrepreneurial finance, financial innovation and technology, regulation, banking, and the evolution of digital finance.

Such innovation is helping to revolutionise payments, wealth advisory services (through robotic systems), fundraising, and investment activities.
