2026 Quant Industry High-Quality Development Conference Held in Shanghai

The gathering signals that China's quant sector is formalising its AI and compute narrative into an industry-level agenda, with GPU upgrades and large models framed as core infrastructure rather than experimental add-ons. Positioning this under "finance plus technology" and new quality productive forces suggests policy alignment is now part of the pitch. For the digital-asset and RWA world, the notable absence is any mention of tokenisation, on-chain data or crypto-adjacent infrastructure. Whether mainstream quant venues begin folding those into the same agenda is the open question worth watching.
