Wholesale digital money is moving from experimentation to infrastructure. Across the Indo-Pacific & Europe, central banks, regulators & financial institutions are testing tokenised settlement models to improve cross-border payments, liquidity efficiency & risk management through initiatives such as Project Acacia (Australia), Project Guardian and BLOOM (Singapore).

This closed-door session convenes senior leaders from policy, banking, market infrastructure, and technology providers to compare takeaways from leading pilots and align on what it will take to move from proofs-of-concept to interoperable, secure, scalable wholesale settlement rails across jurisdictions.  

The roundtable builds on GFTN’s recently launched Digital Money principles, emphasising interoperability, sovereignty, resilience, trust, and inclusion. Participants will also consider enabling foundations underpinning trusted digital markets.

Against a backdrop of rising geopolitical and geo-economic uncertainty, the Indo-Pacific’s fast-growing digital economies are looking for infrastructure that can deliver both cost efficiency and ESG-aligned resilience.

In this context, Western Australia is drawing increasing interest for the foundations that matter: clean and reliable energy, critical minerals for high-performance chips, global connectivity, secure and scalable compute, lower operating costs for business, and a stable, trusted operating environment.

This session will explore how WA can convert these advantages into long-term strategic value for the state and international markets: offering internationally competitive services while supporting local industries and SMEs, creating future jobs, attracting investment, strengthening sustainable development, and positioning the state as a trusted hub in the region for next-generation digital infrastructure. It will also examine how public and private sectors and academia can work together to unlock this opportunity and ensure the benefits build a stronger regional economy.

Quantum computing is driving a security transition—not because the “quantum apocalypse is tomorrow,” but because long-lived data and systems in finance, government identity, healthcare, defence, energy networks and communications can be compromised today through “harvest now, decrypt later.” The systemic risk is straightforward: if we wait until the last minute, migration becomes chaotic, expensive, and operationally disruptive while compromising critical systems.

This is a how-to roundtable for moving from PQC awareness to execution. Banks, big tech, government, security agencies and critical infrastructure operators will align on practical steps: cryptographic inventory, crypto-agility, standards alignment, vendor and supply-chain readiness, procurement language, testing, and staged migration—so organisations can upgrade without breaking interoperability or service continuity.

Outcomes: Insights from discussions will contribute towards GFTN's work on a practical Quantum-Safe Migration Starter Pack with priority systems list, decision points, recommended timelines and a minimum target state for crypto-agility plus a shortlist of “next-wave” opportunities worth piloting.

AI is already improving productivity, safety and customer outcomes — but results vary widely. Some deployments deliver measurable gains; others stall because the basics aren’t in place: weak data foundations, no clear owner, gaps in governance, security exposure, missing talent, hidden costs — and a failure to treat AI as operational infrastructure, not a plug-in tool.

This roundtable moves beyond “what is AI?” and focuses on what works—and what doesn’t—when organisations deploy AI responsibly at scale. Leaders from banking, mining, healthcare, government and startups will share real examples: what they shipped, what got stuck, what made it succeed, and the lessons learned the hard way.

Tokenisation is moving from experimentation to industrial advantage - but only for organisations that can translate pilots into real workflows and profitable business models, compliant  structures & interoperable cross-border trade corridors. From critical minerals & energy to carbon credits, inventory, invoices & high-value goods like art, tokenized assets can reduce friction, accelerate settlement, improve provenance & unlock new financing models. 
 
This roundtable focuses on execution: where tokenization truly beats current systems, how to start with the right use cases, how to design compliant structures & how to build pilots that scale across borders. Western Australia’s position in critical minerals, resources, agriculture, First Nations art & energy makes it a natural launchpad for Indo-Pacific tokenized trade corridors.

The “next economy” is already here (but not evenly distributed) with AI in everyday services, new digital markets through tokenisation, quantum-driven security upgrades, and green infrastructure powering modern compute. But not all growth stories are sustainable, and bubbles do happen (is AI due for a reset? Is Quantum finally ready?). That leaves a simple question for everyone—from mums and dads, VCs and family offices to Australia’s super funds:

What does this mean for savings, wealth, retirement and the kind of economy we’re building?

This roundtable brings together investors, technologists and researchers, regulators and practitioners to separate durable value from hype, and to define what high-return, responsible investing looks like under real uncertainty.

We also ask the hard questions: if some jobs disappear or shift, how do large funds still deliver for members and the broader economy—not just short-term winners?

Western Australia’s economy is highly export-driven. With exports over $240 Billion, it makes nearly half of the total Australian goods exports. Yet cross-border payments still carry potentially avoidable friction such as settlement delays, layered fees, FX spreads, manual exceptions & compliance overheads, costs that hit SMEs hardest & compound across large trade flows.

This session is a practical, industry-first discussion focused on one question:
How can WA reduce the costs & friction of cross-border export payments & safely adopt modern, regulated digital settlement tools where they deliver clear benefits while maintaining strong compliance, consumer protection, operational resilience & effective supervision?

Western Australia is building a practical, connected innovation ecosystem designed to turn ideas into investable ventures, new industries, and real jobs. This workshop is an “insider’s map” for anyone who wants to build, partner, invest, pilot, or expand in Western Australia.

Anchored around Western Australia’s state-funded innovation hubs - collaborative platforms that connect startups, SMEs, corporates, universities, and government - participants will learn where to go for support, how to plug into the right networks, and how to access pathways that accelerate commercialisation and growth.

Quantum technologies are transforming industries. At Black Swan Summit, delegates gain firsthand access to the laboratories where these technologies are being developed.

Hosted by UWA Physics, the tour pairs a clear introduction to quantum concepts with guided lab rotations across quantum computing, sensing, and communications.

Delegates will leave with practical insight into how these technologies work, their real-world applications, and the opportunities they create for research, collaboration, and innovation.

Programme

  • Quantum 101: Introduction to Quantum Concepts
  • Quantum Lab Tour (Limited to 20 slots only)

Please note:

As slots for the Quantum Lab Tour are limited, delegates are required to register their interest via this link.
