HKU FinTech provides a platform for the University of Hong Kong’s initiatives as the preeminent FinTech research and education centre in Asia. It serves as a forum for global thought leaders and researchers at the intersection of finance, technology, law, regulation, and broader sustainability concerns. Addressing major long-term challenges requires an interdisciplinary approach, one we wholeheartedly embrace in our scholarship and policy recommendations. Based at HKU and driven by a mission to ‘Build Better Financial Systems,’ we firmly believe that sound regulatory policy and the targeted use of technology can ensure ecologically balanced growth and development for the foreseeable future. We collaborate with leading academic and global development institutions on cutting-edge research, primarily serving our community of over 170,000 MOOC learners on HKU-edX, as well as SSRN readers with over 220,000 lifetime full-text paper downloads.
