Brainstorming Session: Agentic Ai For Finance

Date
Thu, 20 August 2026
Time
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM AST(America/Barbados)
Join the Future Caribbean Agentic AI for Finance Brainstorming Session, bringing together builders, advisors, financial leaders and the wider Future Caribbean community to explore what the next generation of financial infrastructure could look like across the Caribbean and distributed markets globally. The Caribbean does not operate as one financial system. Payments, credit and capital markets remain fragmented across jurisdictions; cross-border transactions are expensive; financial data is siloed; and MSMEs — which represent the majority of Caribbean businesses — remain significantly underfinanced. The opportunity is not simply more capital. It is better infrastructure for coordinating and moving capital. During this two-hour working session, we will brainstorm where Agentic AI can help build that infrastructure, including: Regional FX coordination and direct currency matching Cross-border payments and settlement MSME credit and cash-flow-based underwriting Trade finance and working capital Automated KYC, AML and cross-jurisdictional compliance Diaspora investment and capital formation Financial data coordination and real-time market intelligence New infrastructure capable of connecting fragmented financial institutions and markets The ambition is bigger than building another financial app. We are asking what systems could materially lower transaction costs, accelerate settlement, expand access to capital and increase the movement of capital across the region. Bring your experience, ideas, questions and technical perspective. Builders, advisors, financial institutions, investors, policymakers and the wider Future Caribbean community are welcome. Let’s build the systems that move capital.
