Shien-Quey Kao, the Deputy Minister of National Development Council, expressed that the dual transitions to a Net Zero carbon footprint and digitalization are a matter of national competitiveness, and even more so, are a lifeline for the operations of all Taiwan’s enterprises. Domestic financial and technological enterprises play a crucial role in leading all other industries in this dual transformation, and among them, CTBC is a model and standout enterprise among all of Taiwan’s businesses.

In his opening remarks, President of CTBC Financial Holding, James Chen, stated that as the most internationalized financial institution in Taiwan, CTBC strives hard from multiple angles to comply with the government’s policy to promote the digital transformation of Taiwan’s financial sector, bringing Taiwan in line with international banking standards. In the post-COVID era, industrial digitalization not only refers to the ability to transform and to innovate, but more importantly, it refers to adaptability and the need to conceptualize in terms of sustainability. Technology has had a massive impact on the financial sector and CTBC Financial Holding has welcomed these challenges quickly and with open arms, hoping to incorporate the concept-driven core tenets and spirit put forth by global financial tech trend development specialist Chris Skinner in his work Digital for Good, advancing CTBC Financial Holding with the company putting forward its own ideas and starting the conversation, leading Taiwan’s financial sector through the company’s continued contribution towards digital transformation as well as sustainable development issues.

Chris Skinner, who has travelled to Taiwan all the way from Poland to have insightful discussions on how financial organizations can consolidate technology and sustainability, believes that “banks aren’t going to disappear.” Future technologies will be a force for good.
