EU Asia Financial Services Dialogue

Afore Consulting was proud to be hosting this event jointly with the Asia Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (ASIFMA).

We will have keynote contributions and panel discussions on the regulatory challenges facing the financial services sector in Europe and Asia after a year of political change.

We will focus in particular on sustainable finance as well as on how digital innovation and AI are transforming the financial services sector in Europe and Asia.

We want to explore how we can contribute to regional and global convergence in these areas.
