ABU DHABI, UAE, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and Chairman of the Executive Council, Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW), the largest financial event in the region, will return for an ambitious fourth edition, which will see it double in size, and cement its status as a top global gathering of financial leaders.

The flagship financial event of the MEASA region, hosted by ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi and headlined by ADQ, will run from 8th December to 11th December 2025.

The agenda for the 2025 edition is designed around the theme of ‘Engineering the Capital Network‘. ‘Engineering’ highlights the use of new technologies in re-architecting modern finance, particularly artificial intelligence and quantum technologies. ‘Capital Network’ reflects the evolving flows and dynamics of financial centres. In a world where gravitational forces from economic giants like China, India, the U.S., and Europe have increasingly centred the nexus of the global market in the Gulf, Abu Dhabi is at the heart of global capital flows and the destination of choice for global participants. The theme also underscores Abu Dhabi’s evolution from primarily a capital exporter to a two-way system of capital flows, powered by leading institutions and a world-class regulatory ecosystem at ADGM.

Commenting on this year’s ADFW, His Excellency Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADGM, said, “ADFW 2025 is set to be our most ambitious edition of this hugely successful event. With this year’s edition to be held at a new location and double in size from last year’s ADFW venue, we are setting a new standard for financial gatherings in the region and beyond. This reflects Abu Dhabi’s growing influence in global capital markets and our commitment to continue creating a truly international financial platform.“

ADFW has become a launchpad and stage for international deals, partnerships and major announcements. In 2023, global financial institutions representing USD 450 billion of assets under management (AUM) announced at the event that they were setting up in ADGM. This momentum continued in 2024 and during last year’s ADFW, institutions representing USD 650 billion in AUM announced they were joining the ADGM community.

ADFW 2024 gathered over 20,000+ global leaders, experts, executives, and policymakers, collectively controlling USD 42.5 trillion of assets, and featured over 350 sessions across more than 60 industry-shaping events and strategic forums, with leaders gathering to address major market challenges in economics, asset management, technology and sustainability. 

Last year, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth funds managed an unparalleled USD 1.7 trillion of assets, cementing its status as the world’s wealthiest city and empowering its financial might to drive long-term investments and economic resilience.

Applications Open for National University of Singapore – Asian Institute of Digital Finance (NUS-AIDF) Certificate in FinTech & InsurTech for Odisha-based Students.  

BHUBANESWAR, India, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Government of Odisha, in partnership with the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), announced the upcoming official launch of the Integrated Global Financial Technology Capability Hub (I-GFTCH) in Bhubaneswar, scheduled for 21 August 2025.  

This marks the first time Odisha is launching a FinTech capability initiative of this scale and global integration. The I-GFTCH launch positions Bhubaneswar at the forefront of India’s evolving financial technology ecosystem and aligns with its national development objectives. 

The Government of Odisha is undertaking a comprehensive, globally integrated four-pronged strategy to establish the state as a leader in Financial Technology innovation and capability.  

1. Global Learning: Odisha has partnered with NUS-AIDF and GFTN to launch a future-proof FinTech and InsurTech professional certification programme. This five-month hybrid course – combining online modules, two weeks of on-campus sessions in Bhubaneswar, hands-on projects, and internship placements – is designed to be inclusive and employment-oriented. The initiative aims to empower over 7,000 students from all districts across Odisha with pragmatic expertise spanning technology, regulatory frameworks, and business operations in Financial Technology and InsurTech sectors. The initiative will be supported by the Skill Development Institute and the Union Education Ministry.  
2. Global Mindshare: In the first quarter of 2026, Bhubaneswar will host the Black Swan Summit (BSS) India, a forward-looking global forum accelerating the adoption of frontier technologies.

Beyond the Black Swan Network, GFTN also convenes a suite of high-impact forums, including Point Zero Forum (Zurich), GFTN Forum Japan (Tokyo), the Inclusion FinTech Forum (Rwanda) and the world’s largest FinTech gathering – the Singapore FinTech Festival.

3. Global Innovation: Odisha will establish a Centre of Excellence to drive digital transformation and advance pioneering solutions. The Hub will accelerate innovation through a full stack of support for startups – offering incubation, mentorship, masterclasses, bootcamps, market readiness programs, and venture development – drawing on GFTN’s international expertise to nurture a robust, future-ready Financial Technology ecosystem. 
4. Financial Technology Global Capability Hub: Odisha is also developing a strategic offshore or nearshore hub for global and national GFTN’s partner financial institutions, leveraging the I-GFTCH Global Learning talent pool. These centres will transcend traditional cost-efficient models to serve as dynamic nodes for business growth and agility, enabling collaboration among startups, corporates and innovators via shared workspaces and integrated resources. 

This multi-pronged approach underscores Odisha’s commitment to building an internationally competitive, innovation-led and inclusive Financial Technology landscape. 

The I-GFTCH initiative, under the leadership of the Honourable Chief Minister Mr. Mohan Charan Majhi and supported by the Department of Electronics & IT and the Department of Higher Education, will begin with the roll-out of its first pillar – Global Learning – in September 2025.  

The NUS-AIDF Certificate in FinTech & InsurTech (CFI) programme under the Global Learning pillar is supported by the Skill Development Institute, Bhubaneswar as a designated Centre of Excellence with a view toward future national accreditation, in consultation with the Indian Union Ministry of Education. 

“By combining local potential with world-class institutions like NUS-AIDF, we are investing in the youth of Odisha to thrive in the $1.8 trillion global digital economy,” said Shri Dr Mukesh Mahaling, Hon’ble Minister for Electronics & IT, Government of Odisha.  

“This partnership places Odisha on the global map of digital skilling,” said Shri Suryabanshi Suraj, Hon’ble Minister of Higher Education, Government of Odisha. “We are committed to building a talent pipeline that can power India’s innovation economy, and this certification is a powerful step forward.” 

“It’s remarkable to see how swiftly the leadership of Odisha has executed the Financial Technology partnership with Singapore – from an MoU signed during the 17 – 18 January 2025 State Visit of His Excellency Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of Singapore – into tangible, forward-looking action,” said Sopnendu Mohanty, Group CEO of GFTN and former Chief FinTech Officer at the Monetary Authority of Singapore.  

“Odisha’s bold vision to become a global FinTech innovation hub is coming to life through world-class certification programmes and a cutting-edge Capability Hub – unlocking global opportunities for local talent and building a future-ready digital economy,” said Mr. Mohanty.

BEIJING, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The “Song of the Earth | Artistic Documentary for a Better China 2025” exhibition series officially opened at Beijing International Club on July 28-29, marking the 20th anniversary of China’s ecological development concept while counting down to the Beautiful China initiative’s tenth anniversary.

The opening ceremony on July 29, themed “Collaborative Action”, launched the Art Practice Index Report for a Better China. Gao Shiming, Vice President of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, emphasized how cultural and artistic practices have evolved into proactive engines for social transformation, moving beyond their traditional decorative role.

The preceding day witnessed an international dialogue with ambassadors from over twenty countries including Grenada, Slovakia and Samoa. This high-level forum saw the launch of the Better China International Dialogue, a joint effort by China Academy of Art and Beijing International Club to amplify China’s ecological stories globally. The initiative represents a significant contribution to both the cultural exchanges under the Belt and Road Initiative and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. 

At the opening ceremony, representatives from across the nation shared innovative approaches and experiences in ecological conservation and sustainable urban-rural development. Diplomatic envoys from multiple countries engaged with these case studies through diverse lenses—urban regeneration, social intervention, rural revitalization, and international dialogue——while contributing their own nations’ expertise in cultural preservation and urban transformation. This dynamic exchange created a vibrant confluence of practical wisdom across cultural boundaries.

Designed as a “constellation” of four interconnected sections, the exhibition forms a panoramic tapestry that mirrors the complexity and systemic nature of eco-civilization. It highlights the dynamic interplay between individuals, communities, local initiatives, and national strategies—bridging present actions with future visions. The exhibition’s international editions in Seoul, London and Fiji further testify to its global relevance.

As Yu Xuhong, president of CAA profoundly stated, more than a retrospective, “Song of the Earth” is a living, evolving platform for social engagement and public discourse. By weaving together artistic practice and societal action, the 2025 edition aspires to create a broader narrative space, uniting diverse changemakers in collective pursuit of Beautiful China’s next chapter.
