This year’s Istanbul Fintech Week brought together a dynamic mix of innovators, thinkers, and disruptors from around the globe—and ExpertHub was proud to be part of the action.
AI, Web3, and the Future of Finance
As AI and Web3 continue to transform the financial landscape, IFW offered a powerful platform for deep conversations around trust, infrastructure, investment, and ethics in an increasingly AI-first world. For ExpertHub, it was a dive into the rapidly evolving intersection of technology and finance.
Our team was there mostly to create connections, but also to detect trends in Fintech, and learn about AI applications in yet another industry. We explored the following themes:
🧠 Trust and Risk in AI-Driven Finance: How can we ensure reliability and transparency in AI-first systems?
🔍 Building AI-First Financial Services: What does it take to make AI central to financial operations?
🌐 Global AI Infrastructure: What’s emerging on the global stage—and what’s just around the corner?
⚖️ Responsible AI: Balancing innovation with compliance, ethics, and long-term sustainability.
💰 Investing in AI: Trends shaping the flow of capital into AI in fintech.
The focus of the event demonstrates the importance of responsible and skillful AI applications. IFW provided us with yet another argument for the inter-human trust and competence being truly appreciated in the current tech climate.

Beyond panels and presentations, the conference was a great space for connecting with fellow enthusiasts, exchanging ideas, and rethinking the future of financial systems in a tech-driven world. In the beautiful settings offered by Istanbul, it came to our team as the biggest pleasure taken in IFW.
We left with fresh perspectives, exciting collaborations in the pipeline, and a deeper commitment to helping shape responsible, innovative use of AI across industries.
