The summit will convene over 500 financial leaders to discuss the integration of Web3 and green technology in advancing fintech, GreenTech, and green finance within the region.

Scheduled for 27 February at Cyberport, the summit will feature more than 30 experts from diverse fields including ESG investment, carbon trading, and sustainable blockchain applications. These discussions aim to foster research, collaboration, and sustainable global development.

Keynote speakers include Joseph Chan, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Georgina Lok from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and Anthony Wong from the Securities and Future Commission, alongside industry leaders from Northern Trust, XTCC/ZERO13, STACS, and the Hong Kong Green Finance Association.
