The Next Hundred Million.

Signature keynote · 30–45 min

A new generation of investors is arriving across emerging markets: mobile-first, often the first in their family to invest. Access got them to the door. What they understand, and whom they trust, decides whether they stay.

  • Who the next hundred million are, and what they bring with them
  • Why comprehension is a bigger constraint than acquisition
  • What AI and Web3 can do for trust, and where they make it worse
  • What builders, brands and regulators each have to get right
