Hong Kong, a global financial powerhouse, serves as the ideal backdrop for the 16th CFO Innovation Forum, offering unique opportunities and insights for CFOs and finance leaders navigating today’s dynamic economic landscape. Known for its open economy, sophisticated infrastructure, and strategic position as the gateway to Asia, Hong Kong exemplifies resilience and adaptability—qualities essential for finance professionals striving to drive growth, manage regulatory complexities, and leverage innovation to create long-term value in an increasingly competitive market. 

As organizations evolve and the pace of change accelerates, CFOs find themselves in uncharted territory, redefining what it means to be a great CFO. No longer confined to financial forecasting and managing spreadsheets, today’s CFO is a strategic business partner, tasked with driving growth, managing risk, and delivering critical insights to the boardroom. The introduction of AI into finance operations is fundamentally reshaping the finance function, with CFOs increasingly validating and interpreting insights from intelligent systems rather than just creating traditional financial reports. 

In 2025, CFOs will face the dual challenge of balancing business growth and profitability while fostering innovation and ensuring compliance. Looking ahead to 2026, CFOs will need to navigate complex strategic challenges, including growth pressures, profitability maintenance, cost control, risk management, and making smart investment decisions. 

The 16th CFO Innovation Forum Hong Kong brings together finance leaders, industry pioneers, and technology experts to explore how digital transformation is reshaping the role of CFOs and the broader finance landscape. This event offers a unique opportunity for attendees to engage in thought-provoking discussions and gain actionable strategies to align financial vision with operational value in an increasingly digital world.
