1st Workshop on the Role of Education in FinTech and Innovation
Co-located with Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2025
April 18, 2025 | Hotel Shigira Mirage| Miyakojima, Japan
Overview
The FinTeAchIn 2025 Workshop is to gather information on the role of education in emerging financial technologies and innovation to better understand ongoing and potential disruptive changes, along with the challenges that must be addressed to realize the full range of anticipated and potential benefits—such as greater financial inclusion, faster and more secure transactions, and reduced operational costs—while mitigate any foreseen risk and addressing concerns about security, privacy, and regulation.
The workshop aims to foster a multidisciplinary environment where educators, researchers, and industry practitioners can discuss open challenges, examine solutions, and contribute actionable insights. Topics of interest include responsible FinTech innovation, individual and organizational adoption, AI in FinTech, curriculum development, multi-generational literacy, and strategies for enhancing public understanding and trust. We are particularly interested in how education can drive safe and responsible adoption of FinTech, improve digital competencies, and bridge generational and socio-economic gaps in financial literacy.
