That's a wrap on Black Swan Summit Australia 2026!

Three days in Perth. Hundreds of conversations.

From Innovation Tours to the Summit Stage, Roundtables and Closed-Door Workshops - we brought together policymakers, technologists, researchers and builders to ask the hard questions and start building the answers.

And it doesn't end here. See you at 2027!

"We can't foresee where this market will go or how it will evolve, but we can put in place the guardrails." - Jannah Patchay, Executive in Residence & Board Member, Global Digital Finance

Regulation is enabling infrastructure - reducing uncertainty, protecting consumers, preventing systemic failure & unlocking capital. Jag Foo, Jannah Patchay, Nina Skewes & Steve Vallas unpacked exactly that this morning in 'Regulation as Enabling Infrastructure - Trust, Interoperability & Investment-Ready Markets' - reframing the rules of the next economy as the thing that makes innovation safe to scale.

Regulation is simply at the heart of responsible innovation.

AI computes. Humans create.

"The organisations that will succeed in this age of AI won't be the ones with the best technology. They'll be the ones with people who can learn, who can adapt, and who can reconfigure themselves for the jobs of the future... It's not a training program, it's a whole operating model." Amy Stanley, Chief People Officer, HBF Health Limited.

We've been asking: what's the right tech stack? But is the real question: what's the right people stack?

Amy Stanley, Prof. David Lee Kuo Chuen, Dr. Diane Smith-Gander AO, Prof. Lam Khin Yong & Paula Rogers took to the stage for 'Talent as Critical Infrastructure - Rebuilding Work, Skills & Opportunity in the Age of AI', and explored how to build robust talent pipelines, bridge the gap between lab and market, and scale reskilling to meet real demand - using Western Australia as a live testbed for what that collaboration can look like at scale.

The takeaway? Talent isn't a support function. It's infrastructure.

โ€œAI and other technologies are really just accelerators of the pace of change. I donโ€™t think itโ€™s the technical solutions that are the problem. I think itโ€™s the social solutions that arenโ€™t keeping up.โ€ โ€” Prof. Michael Small, CSIRO-UWA Chair of Complex Systems, Professor & Director, UWA Data Institute

With Dr. W. Scott Stornetta, Prof. Bill Roscoe, Prof. Michael Small, Victoria Richardson, Dr. Andrzej Gwizdalski and Paula Rogers, the discussion cut across digital identity, blockchain, policy, post-quantum security and AI, showing why trust is fast becoming the defining layer of modern finance and digital systems.

From verifiable credentials to immutable records to the urgent need for quantum-resilient security, this was a conversation for anyone paying attention to where infrastructure, risk and innovation are heading.

We spent today discussing everything from quantum computing to AI to the future of money - but to close the day, we asked the question that sits behind it all.

Why are we here?

Venerable Ajahn Brahm, Abbot of Bodhinyana Monastery, Professor Bernard Carr, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London, and Andrzej Gwizdalski, Co-founder & Chairman of the Western Australia Web3 Association, explored the things that are much harder to quantify - meaning, consciousness, and what it actually means to be human in an age increasingly shaped by machines.

Life, Finance & the Quantum Universe

โ€œQuantum is not just a story about computing, itโ€™s a story about who will have the capacity to understand risk, to secure systems and allocate capital in a fundamentally different way.โ€

In his keynote at Black Swan Summit Australia 2026, Ravi Menon, Chairman of the Board of Directors, GFTN, Ambassador (Climate Action), Singapore & Former Managing Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore, explored why quantum matters now, not later, and why its impact on finance, security, risk, and institutional resilience will be impossible to ignore.

From quantum computing to cryptography and sensing, this was a timely call for leaders to pay attention before the gap becomes too wide.

Some of the best moments at have nothing to do with what's on the agenda.

It's the conversations that spark over coffee, the introductions you didn't plan on making, the ideas that start forming between sessions. Today had plenty of those - and there's still more to come.

A milestone moment for the future of finance.

Today at 2026 in Perth, we officially launched Q-FINEX - a dedicated Quantum Finance Industry Experimentation testbed designed to turn quantum computing from promise into real-world impact.

This powerful collaboration brings together:
- GFTN, connecting global financial institutions, regulators and fintech ecosystems
- Quantum Information, Simulation and Algorithms (QUISA) research group at The University of Western Australia, advancing cutting-edge quantum research
- ST Engineering, driving real-world implementation and deployment

Together, Q-FINEX will enable the industry to:
- Tackle rising market complexity with advanced quantum-enabled modelling
- Strengthen resilience through quantum-safe cybersecurity
- Unlock new opportunities in digital assets and financial innovation

This is more than a launch. Itโ€™s the beginning of bridging quantum research with real-world financial systems.

Black Swan Summit Australia 2026 is officially open.

Western Australia's Minister for Science and Innovation, Hon. Stephen Dawson MLC (WA Government), opened proceedings this morning and set the tone for the Summit.

โ€œDigital transformation is not optional; it is essential. And to fully harness its opportunities, government, industry, academia and innovators must work together to coโ€‘create the enabling environment that will shape Western Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region."
