Cyberport
kicked off the International Speaker Series of the Cyberport Financial
Practitioners FinTech Training Programme, throwing a spotlight on
regulatory technology (RegTech), one of the fastest growing fields of
FinTech that is presenting tremendous prospects for Hong Kong’s FinTech
development at home and abroad.
At the much-anticipated debut seminar and executive learning
series, held over online in late September, Cyberport invited Joanne Horgan, CIO of Vizor, and Douglas W. Arner,
Kerry Holdings Professor in Law of HKU, to introduce this burgeoning
and promising technology to Hong Kong’s financial practitioners.
The duo offered an insightful overview of the emergence of RegTech
and delved into the nuts and bolts of how financial institutions can
practically adopt RegTech solutions. They examined the risks associated
with data accountability and the lack of data standards, explained the
compliance challenges of financial institutions and the priorities of
regulators, elucidated how collaboration among global RegTech networks
is a key to growing this sector, and outlined the prospects of this
US$300 billion industry.
In-service financial practitioners who missed these engrossing
webinars can join the upcoming spate of seminars, workshops, and
executive learning sessions that will be held weekly throughout October.
Prominent industry experts and thought leaders will be hosting sessions
on FinTech foundations, InsurTech, digital assets, cybersecurity, and
technologies in finance, and examine the prospects for the industry.

The FinTech Training Programme was launched earlier this year to
enrich Hong Kong’s FinTech talent pool, promote FinTech adoption by
financial institutions, and speed up the financial sector’s digital
transformation.
Since March, Cyberport has already hosted a series of webinars
covering such industry-pertinent topics as customer centricity,
collaboration between financial institutions and start-ups, digital
assets management, open banking and API economy, and virtual banks and
ecosystems.
