EXECUTIVE FINTECH & DIGITAL ASSETS CONFERENCE
3 Days · 1000+ Delegates · 6 Content Tracks · Open Registration
The global financial axis is shifting. Europe holds capital and regulatory maturity, while ASEAN offers growth and
demographic dynamism. Finweek Kuala Lumpur 2026 is more than just an event. It is a strategic bridge between these two economic powerhouses.
As Malaysia launches the Visit Malaysia 2026 initiative, we are creating the EU ASEAN Digital Investment Gateway. Our mission is to synchronize European innovation with Asian ambition and to build a corridor for:
Linking European venture capital and institutional funds with ASEAN scale-ups and unicorns to unlock cross-border growth and liquidity.
Creating a structured dialogue between European regulators and Bank Negara Malaysia to align frameworks across digital assets, fintech and financial infrastructure.
Enabling certification, recognition and cross-border mobility of next-generation financial, technology and policy experts.
2026 is a "Perfect Storm" for the EU-ASEAN corridor.
It is the moment where high-level policy commitments transform into live technical infrastructure.
The official signing of the world's first regional Digital Economy Framework Agreement, unlocking a $2 trillion market opportunity. Strategic alignment with BNM National Strategy for Financial Literacy 2026–2030 (NS2.0), focusing on safe and meaningful digital financial service adoption.
Malaysia (BNM) and regional partners launch the first functional network for instant cross-border payments between EU and ASEAN.
With the EU's MiCA regulation in full effect, 2026 is the strategic window for ASEAN institutions to secure "passporting" rights to 27 EU nations via agile CEE hubs.
Quality over Quantity. A curated gathering of key decision-makers.
