Innovation should not be burdened by unnecessary restrictions, but it is essential to establish appropriate legislation when it comes to financial transactions
Mr. Duncan Chiu, Legislative Council Member, Technology & Innovation Constituency, shared his thoughts on the changes that the financial sector has experienced due to the development of blockchain and fintech. He stated, “Technology will never go backward, once it’s been developed, it’ll only become better and better. Although blockchain technology has been in development for less than 20 years, it has already brought about significant transformations in the technology sector. Serving as a fundamental technology, it enables the tokenization of real-world assets and provides a secure means of storing data, conducting transactions and preserving value. In terms of policy and legislation side, we need to catch up with the development of technology, especially when it is related to investment.”

Anyone can be an inventor by attempting to solve problems, embracing the “what if I try” mindset, and pursuing ideas without fear of failure or loss
Ms. Andini Makosinski, inventor, writer and global keynote speaker, shared how she came up with innovative ideas, said, “I think innovative mindset is developed by making small changes in your life, and have that ‘I can solve this’ attitude. In order to give your brain that creative space and freedom, you have to be bored sometimes. When we are on our phones, there is constant stimulation happening but that does not encourage creativity or imagination.”

The mental challenges faced by athletes were once regarded as weaknesses, but now they are becoming more openly discussed and acknowledged
Ms. Naomi Osaka, Four-time Grand Slam Tennis Champion, was asked about her motivation to expand her influence beyond the tennis court and embrace the role of a businesswoman. In response, she said, “I’ve always tried to come from a place of my culture, like being half-Japanese and half-Haitian and growing up in America. In that sense, Hana Kuma kind of sees things from my lens.” Speaking about her passion for mental health among athletes, she expressed, “I am really glad that tournaments are taking steps to address it, and it’s becoming a more comfortable topic to talk about.”
