On the 2nd, Hong Kong Fintech Week 2026, hosted by the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau and the Investment Promotion Department, opened. As the flagship event of the Hong Kong fintech community, Fintech Week entered its 11th edition this year. The theme of this year's event was “Fintech Hubs Connect the World to Build the Future Together”. The five-day forum brought together participants from all over the world to exchange opinions, showcase innovative achievements, and discuss topics such as financial empowerment, technological innovation, and global expansion in depth. In his speech, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, said that the first five-year plan announced by Hong Kong was not only a policy document, but also showed enterprises, investors and innovators the development prospects of Hong Kong and helped them seize the opportunities brought by national and global development. Furthermore, the northern metropolitan area will also bring more development opportunities. Hong Kong is building a complete innovation and technology industry chain, connecting key links such as talent and research, and further connecting capital with the global market. Despite widespread uncertainty in the global economy, I believe Hong Kong will continue to be an important hub for commercial, financial and technological development in the future. The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Chan Mao-po, said that Hong Kong will transform fintech into benefits for the real economy based on efficiency as the engine, inclusiveness as the goal, and trust. The development of fintech should not stop at the pilot stage, but should make the daily collection, financing and payments of enterprises faster and more reliable. The HKSAR Government will provide clear rules and reliable infrastructure to encourage the industry to implement applications in Hong Kong to benefit enterprises and citizens. At the event site, the front of the booth was crowded. Visitors leaned over and watched the screen presentation carefully. Many people gathered around the booth to exchange views, and the atmosphere was warm. Chen Qiru, vice president of Tencent's fintech, said during the sharing that a more diverse and inclusive payment network will be born in the future. The industry needs to break boundaries, complement each other, cooperate for a win-win situation, and join hands with global partners to welcome the flourishing future of cross-border payments. According to reports, this year's event attracted more than 45,000 participants, more than 1,000 speakers, and more than 800 exhibitors and startups from more than 120 economies.
