A Ten-Year Journey, Crafting a New Chapter Once Again


From the formal establishment of APFIA in 2013 to the successful hosting of the second APFIA Summit, preparations are underway to celebrate the 11th edition. Upon reflection, even in the midst of a pandemic, APFIA has remained steadfast, actively seeking out new trends and opportunities in the Asia Pacific financial landscape, and forging innovative pathways for investors in the post-pandemic era.


On the 2nd December, 2021, the 9th Asia-Pacific Financial Summit was successfully held at the iconic Crown Hotel in Sydney. The summit featured keynote addresses, roundtable discussions, interactive sessions, with attendees sharing insights in various ways and with industry leaders delivering captivating speeches. During the roundtable discussions, numerous participants delved into hot topics, exploring the industry's future, including trends and strategies for Australian real estate investment in 2022, Australian venture capital, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development strategies (ESG), yielding profound insights.


On the 15th of November, 2022, the 10th APFIA Summit was held at the National Australia Bank headquarters in Sydney, where financial institutions, investors, and financial professionals gathered once again to explore new investment opportunities.


The 11th APFIA Summit will uphold the tradition of previous years by summarising the performance and accomplishments of financial institutions and professionals throughout the year. Multiple annual financial awards will be presented, including awards such as Best Financial Institution, Best Investor, and Best Financial Technology Innovation and many more.


Unprecedented Success, Boosting Financial Health


Investment serves as a crucial avenue for wealth accumulation; nonetheless, the matter of investor protection has consistently been a crucial concern in the development of financial markets. Strengthening investor protection not only safeguards the rightful interests of investors but also contributes to fostering the healthy growth of financial markets. As the initial APFIA Summit following the pandemic, the objective extends beyond stimulating financial expansion and facilitating economic recovery; it also encompasses strengthening international collaboration and instituting cross-border investor protection mechanisms, all in pursuit of advancing the prosperity of financial markets and societal progress.


It's worth mentioning that this summit is not merely an isolated event. Subsequent to the summit, several specialised lectures and meetings will be conducted to promote interaction among members, strengthen connections among participants, and facilitate the exchange of resources.


Moreover, this summit will provide attending guests with an abundance of financial products and resources, broadening their professional networks and expanding investment opportunities, thereby extending their horizons as investors and diversifying product services. For financial firms and institutions, the summit represents a valuable opportunity for focused networking and close collaboration, facilitating mutual success and contributing to the advancement of the APFIA.


In comparison to the previous ten editions, the 11th APFIA Summit has garnered extensive support from the community. Major mainland Chinese web portals, local mainstream media in Australia, as well as representatives from other Western countries' media outlets, will be reporting on the event, potentially reaching an unprecedented level of dissemination.


Exploring Cross-Border Opportunities, Uncovering New Investment Horizons


The Asia Pacific region stands as one of the world's most dynamic economies. Economic growth in the Asia Pacific region is inherently linked with its financial markets, as these nations rely on the support and expansion of these markets for their economic well-being.


The 11th APFIA Summit, as a reputable event in the global financial arena, carries immense significance for the economic growth of the Asia Pacific region. This summit serves as a platform offered by APFIA for financial institutions from diverse countries and regions to engage in discussions, exchange ideas, and collaborate, thus facilitating cooperation and communication among various entities within the financial sector. The summit will provide participants with professional, comprehensive, and unique insights through high-level forums and specialised lectures.


Despite encountering various challenges in the post-pandemic era and facing global economic uncertainties, the Asia Pacific region still anticipates counter-trend growth. The 11th APFIA Summit will adopt a more proactive approach by establishing a diversified open framework, fostering a higher-quality inclusive environment, and acting towards advancing the prosperity and stable development of the Asian economy. Serving as a crucial platform for financial investment cooperation, this summit will also act as a bridge to the super financial investment market, facilitating cross-border opportunities, exploring fresh investment avenues, and beginning a new chapter in Asia Pacific finance.
