Global Government Fintech becomes Global Government Finance

Global Government Fintech has been renamed Global Government Finance to reflect the mainstreaming of digital finance and an expanded editorial focus across nine thematic areas including AI, blockchain and payments.

Global Government Fintech has been rebranded as Global Government Finance. The change reflects the acceleration of digital finance into the mainstream and the increasing importance of innovation for public sector finance leaders. The platform first launched almost five-and-a-half years ago to report on and build a professional community around financial technology in areas such as payments and anti-fraud. The new title signals a broader editorial remit focused on finance rather than a narrower fintech label. Key details: - Coverage will be organised into nine thematic sections: Artificial Intelligence & Data, Anti-Fraud and Financial Crime, Blockchain, Digital Currencies, Digital Resilience, Digital ID, Payments, Policy & Governance and Public Financial Management. - Editorial content will include independent reporting, case studies, trend analysis and interviews with public sector finance leaders. - An extended interview with Lord Holmes accompanies the relaunch; he described the timing as appropriate and said it is positive to broaden the discussion from "fintech" to finance as digital finance becomes more established. - A Finance Leaders Study, informed by interviews with government finance leaders from around the world, will be published in the months ahead. - Plans for events and webinars will be confirmed soon, building on past Finance Summits and four Global Government Fintech Labs held in Dublin (2023, 2024 and 2025) and in Tallinn (2022). Summary: The renaming broadens the platform’s remit to cover mainstream digital finance topics relevant to public finance leaders. Editorial coverage will be delivered across nine themed sections and will include reporting, case studies and interviews. A Finance Leaders Study and further event plans are announced, with detailed schedules to be confirmed.
