CFTE at Money20/20 Middle East: Shaping AI, Finance and Inclusion in Riyadh

15–17 September 2025 | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

CFTE is proud to be part of Money20/20 Middle East in Riyadh — a key forum advancing the ambitions of Vision 2030 and shaping the global future of finance.

Over two days, CFTE will contribute to some of the forum’s most important conversations, led by Tram Anh Nguyen, Co-founder of CFTE and Chairwoman of Global Women in AI (GWAI).

Thought Leadership on Stage

Throughout the event, Tram Anh Nguyen will join policymakers, regulators, and innovators from across the region and beyond to address the critical intersections of financial literacy, AI, and inclusion. She will join the panels to discuss the following.

From Oil to Ownership: Financial Literacy as the Cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Fintech Revolution

With more than 70% of the Saudi population under 35, financial literacy has become national infrastructure. This session explores how fintech is enabling a new generation of financially capable Saudis, and why literacy must be embedded in the business models of regulators, banks, and startups.

Code, Capital, and Confidence: Women at the Helm of AI and FinTech

As AI and fintech converge, women leaders are taking centre stage in building trusted ecosystems and setting new governance standards. This fireside chat highlights how confidence in leadership — from boardrooms to communities — can become a multiplier for trust and transformation.

From Awareness to Access: Building Financial Literacy as Core Infrastructure for Emerging Economies

Financial literacy is not just a social good — it is critical economic infrastructure. This panel will examine how collaboration between governments, fintechs, and creators can scale financial education, build trust, and unlock participation across emerging markets.

The Saudi Opening Celebration for Global Women in AI

The highlight of CFTE’s participation will be the Saudi Opening Celebration for Global Women in AI (GWAI).

📅 Date & Time: 15 September 2025 | 17:10 – 18:10

📍 Venue: Off The Record Stage, Money20/20 Riyadh

This is the global launch of GWAI, an initiative chaired by Tram Anh Nguyen dedicated to empowering women leaders, innovators, and professionals in the age of AI.

Why Riyadh? Because Saudi Arabia is becoming a global reference point for digital transformation and inclusive growth. Under Vision 2030, the Kingdom has shown what is possible when ambition meets action — making it the perfect place to begin a global movement.

The celebration will gather senior policymakers, central bankers, entrepreneurs, and innovators to connect, exchange ideas, and mark a defining moment: ensuring that women are not just participants in the AI revolution, but leaders shaping its direction.
