The new wave of digital technologies –AI, blockchain, Semantic Web, big data, and Immersive 3D technologies–has been proclaimed as the next big trend in FinTech. Collectively, these technologies comprise the framework for Web 3.0 and will enrich the future of Smart Finance.

Smart Finance is research and development about FinTech in the intersection of data-driven technologies and new finance (cryptocurrency, crowdfunding, supply chain finance, and e-payments). The International Conference on Smart Finance (ICSF) is a platform for academic scholars and industry leaders to connect and communicate on how to harness financial technology. ICSF sets its goals on promoting industrial best practices and government regulations in relevant business areas, on facilitating academic researchers to study industrial standards, theoretical advances, and educational frameworks, and on connecting industries and academics to identify and collaborate on unprecedented new opportunities. 

The conference will include typical conference components such as keynotes, planetary speeches, panels, and paper presentations that are either invited or submitted from researchers in universities and industries. ICSF has been held in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, Beidaihe, and Hong Kong. In 2023, the conference will be hosted by the University of Wollongong in Dubai.
