Overview

The Future of Banking: Asia Edition By Dr Chris Wagner and Dr Florian Klein — experts in AI-powered strategic foresight, formerly Deloitte Monitor

The banking industry is being redrawn — and Asia is at the centre of it. With a sharp spotlight on China-ASEAN opportunities and challenges over the next decade, this masterclass takes a global study of the most significant innovations reshaping financial services, mapping the next big waves for banks across the region. From Silicon Valley to London, China to Scandinavia, discover what the best-run banks are doing differently — and what the rest should be watching.

AI is already reading the signals that most banks are missing. This session examines how artificial intelligence is tracking emerging consumer behaviours, geographic shifts in Asian wealth, the explosive rise of digital commerce, and the growing influence of cryptocurrency — mapping how these forces will converge to fundamentally transform banking by 2030. Walk away with a clear-eyed view of what’s coming, and the strategic clarity to act ahead of it.
