Daniela StoffelState Secretary for International Finance in the Federal Department of Finance, said: “The forthcoming forum in Zurich will bring all stakeholders together and identify concrete ways in which technological innovation can help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals while boosting the competitiveness of the financial sector.”
Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief FinTech Officer of MAS and CEO of Elevandi, said: “The financial sector is undergoing an interesting transformation. Emerging financial technologies are leapfrogging from the experimental stage, as in the case of AI, or are being repositioned in areas such as digital assets.

The forum is a timely gathering to steer the policy considerations that are influencing this change.”
