About the Conference

The global financial ecosystem is undergoing an unprecedented transformation driven by artificial intelligence, digital technologies, sustainability imperatives, evolving regulatory frameworks, and increasing geopolitical uncertainty. Financial institutions and corporations are rethinking traditional business models while embracing data-driven decision making, responsible investing, digital assets, climate finance, and resilient financial systems.

Finance 5.0 represents the convergence of intelligent technologies with sustainable and inclusive financial practices. As organizations navigate rapid technological disruption and changing stakeholder expectations, there is an increasing need for innovative research addressing financial resilience, governance, ESG integration, digital finance, and global market dynamics.

The 14th International Conference on Emerging Trends in Corporate Finance and Financial Markets provides an international platform for academicians, researchers, industry practitioners, policymakers, and doctoral scholars to deliberate on emerging issues shaping the future of finance. The conference seeks high-quality empirical, conceptual, analytical, and practice-oriented research that contributes to advancing knowledge in finance, accounting, banking, financial markets, and allied disciplines.
