ABOUT THE SUMMIT

Empowering the next-gen leaders to navigate the future of finance

Finnovate Summit 2026 is a one-day gathering for the people shaping the country's financial infrastructure: engineers, product leads, regulators, bankers and founders. No keynote theatre — working sessions, honest numbers, and time to talk to the person who solved the problem you're stuck on.

Hosted at the University of Moratuwa, the morning runs as a single track — two panel discussions, a CFA address and a student research competition — and closes with a vote of thanks. Admission is free for everyone, and seating is first come, first served.

AGENDA

The morning, minute by minute

09:30 → 13:00 · 210 MINUTES

THE SESSIONS

Two perspectives, one financial future

Two panel discussions approach the same shift from opposite ends — the institutions that regulate and fund it, and the consumers and founders living it. Everything runs as a single track, so nobody has to choose.
