The Centre for Global Finance & FinTech, awaiting final launch approval, debuted as a Community Event Partner at Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025. Professor Roman Matousek delivered “Robo-Advisory: The Art of Being Cheated? – Can We Really Trust Algorithms with Our Money?”—a presentation that confronted algorithmic bias, regulatory oversight, and the risks of automated platforms, grounding the analysis in real cases rather than abstractions. Around 150 participants joined from across the globe, underscoring both the urgency of policy debate and the Centre’s emerging role as a credible voice in shaping AI‑driven finance. This debut connects directly to Hong Kong’s Fintech 2025 strategy, reinforcing the need for responsible innovation at the intersection of research, ethics, and regulation.
