The Asian Institute of Digital Finance (AIDF), a university-level research institute under the National University of Singapore and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) are partnering to enhance educational excellence through industry relevance. To formalise this collaboration, AIDF and ICMA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the sidelines of Point Zero Forum 2024, to develop educational and training programmes in the dynamic realm of securities and capital markets.
As a key initiative, AIDF and ICMA are excited to introduce the AI Governance Executive Programme in Global Capital Markets, with the aim of equipping participants with advanced insights and practical competencies in AI risk management practices which are crucial for successful AI deployment, hence addressing the increasing need for proficient AI governance. The programme will be offered by AIDF as part of its suite of professional education courses.
“We are thrilled to embark on this exciting collaboration with ICMA,” remarked Associate Professor Huang Ke-Wei, Executive Director of AIDF. “This collaboration combines AIDF’s academic and fintech expertise with ICMA’s industry knowledge and extensive network of AI practitioners. Together, we hope to propel the AI adoption in capital markets.”

We are delighted to be collaborating with the Asian Institute of Digital Finance at NUS to deliver a programme on AI and risk management, a key topic that will shape the future of the capital markets.”
