Overview
Digitalisation plays a distinctive role in Asia’s rapidly evolving debt capital landscape. The region is witnessing a surge in innovation—from the rise of digital bonds and tokenisation frameworks to the growing influence of AI across trading, issuance, and compliance workflows. Asia’s capital markets are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation, supported by progressive regulatory environments and strong institutional interest.
Co-hosted by Clifford Chance, the event promises to be an insightful afternoon of thought leadership and focused dialogue with industry leaders, academics, and technology experts to explore the future of the global capital markets. The event will be followed by a networking reception to foster meaningful conversations with key stakeholders from across the region.
Admission: This in-person event is free to attend and open to ICMA members only and invite-only. Please note that participation may be on a first-come, first-served basis due to venue restrictions.
