Ten editions across Europe — now arriving in ASEAN
2016 - 2026
The global financial axis is shifting. Europe holds capital and regulatory maturity, while ASEAN offers growth and
demographic dynamism. Finweek Kuala Lumpur 2026 is more than just an event. It is a strategic bridge between these two economic powerhouses.
As Malaysia launches the Visit Malaysia 2026 initiative, we are creating the EU ASEAN Digital Investment Gateway. Our mission is to synchronize European innovation with Asian ambition and to build a corridor for:
Linking European venture capital and institutional funds with ASEAN scale-ups and unicorns to unlock cross-border growth and liquidity.
Creating a structured dialogue between European regulators and Bank Negara Malaysia to align frameworks across digital assets, fintech and financial infrastructure.
Enabling certification, recognition and cross-border mobility of next-generation financial, technology and policy experts.
2026 is a "Perfect Storm" for the EU-ASEAN corridor.
It is the moment where high-level policy commitments transform into live technical infrastructure.
The official signing of the world's first regional Digital Economy Framework Agreement, unlocking a $2 trillion market opportunity. Strategic alignment with BNM National Strategy for Financial Literacy 2026–2030 (NS2.0), focusing on safe and meaningful digital financial service adoption.
Malaysia (BNM) and regional partners launch the first functional network for instant cross-border payments between EU and ASEAN.
With the EU's MiCA regulation providing regulatory clarity, 2026 opens a unique opportunity for comparative dialogue between EU and ASEAN regulatory frameworks — sharing experiences and identifying common ground.
Quality over Quantity. A curated gathering of key decision-makers.
Our ambition is to move beyond the conference format. We are initiating a permanent tool
for Digital Diplomacy: a platform for real-time intelligence between the two regions.
Sold as niche sponsorships for specific subjects.
