With the rapid advancement of the Internet, mobile technologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, and large language models, Financial Technology (FinTech) has become a central driver of transformation in global financial systems.

Initiated in 2019 as a specialized workshop affiliated with the Shanghai AI Summit and the IVPAI conference, the International Conference on Financial Technology (ICFT) has developed into a well-recognized international conference since its expansion in 2024. Previous editions have been successfully held in Singapore (ICFT 2024) and Hong Kong (ICFT 2025), attracting a diverse global audience, including distinguished scholars, IEEE Fellows, industry experts, and emerging researchers.

The 7th International Conference on Financial Technology (ICFT 2026) will take place in Istanbul from August 19 to 21, 2026. As a bridge between East and West, Istanbul is emerging as a dynamic hub for financial innovation and digital transformation. Its strategic geographic and economic position makes it an ideal venue for global experts and industry leaders to exchange ideas and explore the intelligent evolution of finance.

ICFT 2026 aims to provide a high-level platform for researchers, practitioners, regulators, and industry leaders to present research findings, exchange insights, and foster collaboration, thereby advancing the sustainable and intelligent development of the global fintech ecosystem.
