As Singapore's Web3 ecosystem matures, the conversations shaping the future are no longer just about technology—they're about governance.
Whether you're applying for a licence, scaling a blockchain business, launching a token project or building towards decentralisation, the questions become increasingly important:
- What governance frameworks does MAS expect of regulated entities?
- If your business isn't regulated, what does good governance look like?
- How should founders think about board structures, constitutions, accountability and decentralisation as their organisations grow?
- What governance practices do investors, partners and institutional clients expect before they engage with you?
Join the SFA Web3 Subcommittee for a practical session designed for founders, legal and compliance professionals, investors and Web3 operators navigating these questions.
