Last week marked the inaugural Digital Assets Conference (https://digitalconferenceguernsey.gg/), bringing together visionary speakers, dynamic panel discussions (including one which I had the pleasure of joining), and the event was capped off a spectacular Red Arrows display which we had the pleasure of viewing from the rooftop offices of Artemis Fiduciaries at Admiral Plaza. The energy and ambition in the conference were palpable – a clear signal that Guernsey is stepping confidently into the future of finance.
This week, the focus shifted further. I was part of a highly constructive session at the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, where the commitment and appetite to embracing blockchain and evolving our legacy financial services infrastructure was evident. The GFSC is making bold strides to ensure Guernsey remains relevant and competitive in the global financial landscape.
Looking ahead, we’re excited for Tekex#33 (https://www.tekex.co) on Thursday evening, which promises to be a great convergence of minds judging from recent events, with some excellent businesses being showcased.
The upcoming Chamber of Commerce (https://guernseychamber.com/) lunch on October 1st. Where I, alongside the other members of the Guernsey Innovation Board (https://innovateguernsey.com) will be sharing the roadmap for fostering an innovative ecosystem — and more importantly, to listen to feedback from the wider business community on where our collective focus should be. There’s still time to grab a ticket for this – available on the chamber website!
Guernsey is building momentum. It’s a privilege to be part of the journey.
