Asian Financial Forum 2022 | Hong Kong Trade Development Council | 9 January 2022 | Online

AFF is Asia’s premier platform for global leaders in government, finance and business to exchange insights, intelligence as well as to explore business and investment opportunities.

As a part of the forum, its Deal Flow Matchmaking Session connects sources of funds with sources of deals from around the world via one-to-one meetings. Over the years, 6,500+ meetings have been arranged for 4,500+ companies and investors, including investment project owners, private equity firms, high-net-worth individuals and senior professionals from intermediaries and professional services providers.

In addition, the Fintech Showcase, FintechHK Startup Salon and InnoVenture Salon in the AFF feature a plethora of financial innovations, cutting-edge solutions and game-changing business ideas to facilitate business collaboration and empower entrepreneurs and startups.

Against the backdrop of a gradual global economic recovery, the upcoming edition of AFF discusses key issues reshaping the ever-changing economic landscape and how the industry can achieve the goal of a sustainable future under the overarching theme "Navigating the Next Normal towards a Sustainable Future". Realising sustainable and inclusive development through impactful investment and business strategies will undoubtedly be of great interest to the AFF community.
