About this session
From the Gulf to Southeast Asia and beyond, a new generation of fintech investment is being guided by something more deliberate than returns alone - it is about which corridors get connected, which populations get served, and which infrastructure gets built to last. Fintech's most seasoned global investors share what they are backing, why, and what the next chapter looks like.
