Proposition courte en anglais :I attended the GFTN Forum Japan in Tokyo in February. It was a valuable event to better understand the fintech and innovation ecosystem in Asia, with strong insights on digital finance, regulation, AI, and cross-border collaboration. The forum offered a good balance between strategic discussions and practical use cases, making it relevant for anyone interested in the future of financial services and digital transformation.
