MUFG Fintech Festival 2025
Bringing together about 200 leaders and delegates from across MUFG’s partners, affiliates and digital investees, the third MUFG Fintech Festival (MFF) provided a platform to deepen collaboration across the MUFG Openly-Connected Digital Ecosystem (MODE) and exchange perspectives on the technologies and partnerships shaping the future of finance in Asia Pacific.
Throughout the festival, leaders from across MUFG’s ecosystem shared insights on emerging technologies, evolving business models and the opportunities presented by areas such as AI, digital payments and automation. Digital investees and partners also discussed how their capabilities are helping businesses unlock new opportunities while extending access to financial services among unbanked and underserved communities.
Nobuya Kawasaki, Chief Executive for Asia Pacific, MUFG, highlighted how MODE provides a strong foundation for MUFG and its investees to co-create tangible value, as the bank continues to explore new opportunities to invest and collaborate with technology companies.
Sopnendu Mohanty, Group CEO of Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) and Advisor of Fintech Group, Monetary Authority of Singapore, highlighted the importance of competition, inclusion and innovation in shaping the future of finance in APAC. He also underscored the need to invest not only in emerging technologies such as AI, tokenisation and quantum, but also in developing the talent that will shape the digital economy of tomorrow.
The third MUFG Fintech Festival reinforced the strength of MUFG’s openly connected digital ecosystem and our belief that the future of finance will be shaped not by technology alone, but by strong partnerships and a shared commitment to inclusion.
MUFG will continue to strengthen collaboration across its openly connected digital ecosystem, working alongside our partners and investees to advance the future of digital finance.
