The
Key Focus Topics
AI and Blockchain
AI’s rapid rise brings both opportunity and risk through human-machine interaction. Blockchain adds trust, verification and decentralisation, legitimising the data, the foundation models that process it and the outcomes of AI-driven decisions.
Crypto Cybersecurity & National Security
Crypto cybersecurity is essential to national security, defending digital assets and infrastructure against threats to safety, financial systems and geopolitical stability, while preventing misuse of innovations for illicit ends.
DeFi
DeFi powers financial products and services through blockchain and self-executing code. As tokenisation spreads across asset types, DeFi has moved beyond finance, unlocking innovation across diverse financial and commercial markets.
Digital Assets Investments and Trading
Digital asset trading reshapes finance with 24/7/365 markets offering unprecedented efficiency and transparency, while the shift toward a global, interoperable marketplace demands stronger regulation, risk controls, integrity and infrastructure.
Digital Money
Digital money is transforming how value moves globally — faster, cheaper, and programmable in nature. These innovations are redefining monetary policy, payments, and access to financial solutions globally.
Privacy
Privacy in digital assets is crucial for ensuring secure transactions and upholding individual rights, balancing transparency and access to financial solutions with the need for confidentiality and freedom.
State
Travel
