Networking
New for 2026: The Global SME Finance Forum Experience Center
Wednesday November 18 - Friday November 20
Set in the heart of the Singapore FinTech Festival exhibition, the Global SME Finance Forum Experience Center gives the Forum a home of its own within the Festival, a place where Forum attendees and the wider Festival community can come together to learn, exchange ideas, and build connections. A series of interactive workshops and practical sessions will run throughout the three days, uniting the wider finance ecosystem with those at the core of SME finance.
