Building on the strong success of our first Islamic finance event, this follow-up session continues the conversation on how the industry is evolving to meet the demands of a rapidly changing global financial landscape. The previous event demonstrated the growing momentum, engagement, and appetite for forward-looking Islamic finance solutions—setting the stage for a deeper and more ambitious dialogue.

This next chapter, “Islamic Finance 2.0: Innovation & Ethics at Scale,” explores how technology, ethics, and purpose can converge to move Islamic finance beyond replication and into true innovation. The event will focus on how digital transformation, AI, and ecosystem collaboration can scale Sharia-compliant finance while preserving its core values of fairness, transparency, and social impact.

Participants will gain insights into how Islamic finance can lead the future of ethical finance through practical, technology-driven applications across the industry.

Key focus areas include:

• A connected ecosystem  linking banks through Open Banking with charitable flows such as Zakat into a seamless digital platform
• Smart product innovation  using AI to design digital-first Sharia products centered on profit-sharing rather than traditional loan structures
• Ethics and awareness  enabled by technology to make Sharia principles transparent, accessible, and understandable for modern customers
• Financial inclusion  through AI-driven data insights to expand access for the unbanked and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
• Digital Sharia compliance  with real-time, automated audits to ensure every transaction remains ethical and fully compliant
