Building the ASEAN Financial Corridor
About Bangkok Digital Finance Conference
The Bangkok Digital Finance Conference (BDFC) is a leading platform driving innovation in finance and technology across ASEAN. Co-hosted by the Bank of Thailand and Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) in collaboration with the Thai Fintech Association, the forum brings together public and private sector leaders to shape the future of digital finance through open dialogue, cross-border collaboration, and strategic policy engagement. With a focus on building the ASEAN Financial Corridor, BDFC promotes cutting-edge developments in areas such as cross-border payments, digital identity, tokenization, ESG finance, and cybersecurity. The conference is part of a broader mission to bridge innovation, regulation, and capital fostering a resilient and inclusive financial ecosystem for the region. BDFC also draws on the global reach of GFTN’s ecosystem, with active networks across the world.
Anchored within the Black Swan Network, BDFC complements a family of forward-looking global forums curated by GFTN. The Black Swan network was launched in Perth with the Black Swan Summit, a global forum convening leading technologists, policymakers, investors, and innovators to explore paradigm shifts in tokenization, AI, quantum computing, semiconductor breakthroughs, and digital infrastructure. By linking local priorities with frontier global dialogues, BDFC strengthens GFTN’s flagship multi-location platform for collective foresight and international collaboration.

From cross-border payments to data infrastructure and green finance, Thailand is actively building the next generation of financial infrastructure supported by forward-looking policymakers, adaptive users, and a vibrant mix of startups, investors, and institutions. This forum offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with key agencies and industry leaders, tackle real-world challenges like financial crime and inclusion, and explore meaningful cross-sector collaboration that extends beyond finance itself.
