Setting the pace: Modernising market infrastructure amid regulatory shifts and digital acceleration
Australia’s financial markets continue to evolve at pace, market infrastructure is no longer viewed as a back-office utility but as a driver of strategic growth, resilience, and innovation. Today, it’s no longer just about system upgrades or compliance checks; it’s about building strategic, resilient foundations that can adapt to intensifying regulatory demands, accelerating digitisation, and rising operational complexity.

In this exclusive session, ASX and other key stakeholders from the industry will come together to examine how forward-thinking institutions are reimagining market infrastructure to unlock long-term value, elevate transparency, and fortify resilience. The discussion will go beyond theory, focusing on actionable strategies for navigating reform, modernising critical systems, and turning infrastructure into a lasting competitive advantage.
