This October, Shanghai— the financial hub of the Chinese mainland— welcomes the 2025 Bund Summit, co-organized by the China Finance 40 Forum and Tsinghua University. Over 120 policymakers, academic leaders, and senior executives from financial institutions across developed economies and emerging markets will gather under the theme “Navigating Global Transformation: New Order, New Tech.”
Across 21 roundtable dialogues and 11 closed-door sessions, participants will tackle pressing challenges in economy, finance, and technology. The summit aims to bolster the Chinese mainland’s role as a constructive force in global governance, fostering trust and consensus to bridge international divides.
Technology takes center stage at this year’s event.

Data-driven insights and real-world case studies promise to bring each discussion to life.
Voices range from central bank officials to startup founders, each offering fresh perspectives on digital currencies, supply chain resilience, and the future of sustainable finance. For young global citizens and entrepreneurs alike, the Bund Summit offers a front-row view of tomorrow’s game-changing ideas.
Beyond the sessions, attendees can explore the Bund’s iconic waterfront and Shanghai’s blend of historic architecture with cutting-edge design—an immersive backdrop for global networking and cultural exchange.
