MAIN STAGE
Let's explore EUROPE'S DIGITAL LEAP in Digital Finance
through the 4 following themes
PAYMENTS BEYOND BORDERS
The European payments landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, with initiatives like the European Payments Initiative (EPI) driving continental integration. This track explores how fintechs are at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging open banking and new technologies to innovate within the SEPA framework. We will delve into the acceleration of instant payments and sophisticated cross-border solutions benefiting both Belgian and wider European markets. Discover the latest trends in mobile payments and digital wallets, and how Request-to-Pay is redefining transactions, helping solidify Europe’s position in the global digital payment revolution.
FINTECH FOR GOOD
Fintech possesses an extraordinary capacity to drive positive societal impact across Europe and the world. This session spotlights how technology can foster financial inclusion. We will explore how Belgian fintechs are championing projects that enhance digital empowerment and support local communities, contributing to broader European goals. Discover the latest trends in accessible financial tools and sustainable finance solutions that align with EU objectives, aiming to serve underserved populations and promote financial literacy. This is about leveraging innovation for purpose, ensuring Europe’s digital leap creates a more equitable financial ecosystem for all.
REGULATION: STRIKING THE RIGHT BALANCE
Navigating Europe's evolving regulatory terrain, including landmark regulations like MiCA and DORA, is crucial for success in the fintech industry. This topic examines the challenge of balancing robust consumer protection with fostering innovation across the continent. We'll explore how Belgian regulators, in concert with European directives, are striving for agile frameworks that empower trust and support technological advancements. Join the discussion on creating a future-proof regulatory environment that supports sustainable growth in Belgium and contributes to Europe's leadership in responsible, transformative financial innovation. This track will explore AML, Digital Identity and managing risks in an increasingly complex and instant digital world, including discussions about the upcoming Financial Data Access Directive (FiDA).
LEVERAGING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping the financial industry across Europe, with both agentic and generative AI offering transformative potential. This session will explore how financial institutions and fintechs are pioneering AI-driven solutions, from hyper-personalised banking to advanced fraud detection, contributing to the continent's innovation. We will unpack the distinctions and synergies between these AI forms within the EU's evolving regulatory AI framework. Discover the cutting-edge AI trends that are enabling a more intelligent, efficient, and customer-centric financial future for both Belgium and the wider European market.
