Topics & Themes

What challenges our event will address? 
 
To ensure our conference delivers exceptional value to attendees, our team of leading experts will address the following critical challenges: 
 

  • Cybersecurity Risks: The transition to digital platforms has significantly increased the threat of cyber-attacks, with cybercrime rising by 30% in 2023. 
  • New Business Models: Investigating innovative business models, such as forming partnerships with fintech firms and technology providers, to deliver unique services and reach new customer segments.
  • Customer-Centric Approach: Emphasizing tech-driven solutions may inadvertently alienate market segments that are less tech-savvy.
  • New Technology Adoption: Implementing advanced technologies such as AI, blockchain, and IoT requires not only technical expertise but also a cultural shift within organizations. 
     
     
    How our conference will help you to tackle those challenges and envision growth drivers? 
     
    Amazon Web Services will provide best practices on how traditional banks are leveraging digital innovation and AI to enhance cybersecurity. Additionally, the Head of Customer Relations at Yapi Kredi will delve into the use of AI in contact centers to create value
     
    Experts such as KIB’s Retail General Manager will discuss strategies for moving beyond the conventional banking model. With exclusive insights from Fidelity and Banco Sabadell, you'll uncover how collaboration, open banking, and embedded finance can drive new business models. Leading insurers like Allianz Partners and Union Insurance will also share their approaches to building digital ecosystems that foster innovation.
