From payments all the way to asset management, digitization is transforming finance. Combining academic and business perspectives, the SFI Annual Meeting will discuss the trends and implications of digitization in the financial world. Does digitization reduce or increase frictions in the financial system? Can we create a decentralized system of financial intermediation, and is this desirable? How far will generative AI transform finance, and how should we grasp the opportunities and manage the risks?
The Annual Meeting of the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI) is one of the leading events in the Swiss financial community’s calendar and an exclusive discussion platform. It brings together the finest minds in academia and key financial market players. The widely respected event enables practitioners and academics to exchange the knowledge and expertise that will keep Switzerland at the top in banking and finance.
