SINGAPORE, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NEC Asia Pacific will return to the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF), taking place from 18 to 20 November 2026 at Singapore EXPO. 

At Booth #3G31, NEC will present AI, analytics and partner-led offerings that help financial institutions make better-informed decisions, improve operational performance, and advance business transformation. 

Guided by its vision to create what's ahead, NEC is bringing together practical applications spanning Agentic AI, financial intelligence, insurance risk analytics, technology integration and wealth management. 

Michio Kotegawa, SVP, Head of Digital Finance Solutions & Innovation, NEC APAC, shares, "As financial institutions navigate growing complexity and rapidly evolving customer expectations, success will depend on their ability to turn technology into tangible business outcomes. By combining trusted AI innovation with deep financial services expertise, NEC is helping organisations create what's ahead through smarter decisions, stronger customer experiences, and more resilient operations." 

What to Expect at NEC's Booth 

1. NEC cotomi Agent: Advancing Agentic AI in Financial Services 

NEC cotomi Agent observes how users complete tasks in a web browser, captures reusable operational know-how and applies that knowledge across web-based business systems. By turning individual expertise into organisational capability, the service can autonomously execute digital workflows while retaining appropriate governance and human oversight. 

2. NEC Financial Insights & Supply Chain Finance 

NEC Financial Insights and Supply Chain Finance combine Agentic AI, financial data and financing capabilities to help CFOs anticipate scenarios, act more quickly and optimise working capital and liquidity. Developed in partnership with TASConnect, the offering also supports risk management and closer collaboration across supply chains. 

3. AI Image Analytics for Insurance and Risk Management 

NEC will demonstrate AI-powered image analytics that examines motor-claim photographs for potential fraud and misrepresented damage. The technology can identify signs of pre-existing or staged damage and assess whether visible damage is consistent with a reported accident, supporting faster, more consistent claims decisions and reducing claim leakage. 

4. Financial Technology Partnerships  

NEC's Financial Technology Partnerships approach brings together financial-services expertise, technology capabilities and strategic partnerships with leading technology providers to help financial institutions modernise operations, address business challenges and advance their transformation goals. Across business consulting, wealth management, payments, financial-crime management and liquidity management, NEC connects relevant platforms, specialist solutions and delivery capabilities around evolving business needs.

NEC's collaboration with Avaloq demonstrates this approach in practice. Through NEC's Avaloq Wealth Management Implementation Services, NEC combines Avaloq platform capabilities with financial-services knowledge, engineering expertise and regional delivery experience to help institutions transform their wealth management capabilities and realise greater value from their technology investments.

5. Avaloq Wealth Management Transformation  

Avaloq's integrated, front-to-back platform supports banking and wealth management across the value chain, from onboarding and payments to investment management, credit, treasury, risk and compliance. A unified data model, real-time accounting and broad functional coverage can simplify operations, strengthen control and establish a foundation for AI-enabled innovation.

Vibhooti Chaturverdi, Managing Director for Asia Pacific, Avaloq, says: "A strong technology foundation is essential for wealth managers looking to scale into new markets and client segments, deliver more personalized advice and make effective use of AI. Together with NEC, we are helping financial institutions modernize by connecting data, process and ecosystems across the wealth management value chain."
