The intersection of finance and technology is transforming the financial world. An explosion of innovations promises to make financial intermediation more efficient, transparent, and accessible for clients. How will these sweeping changes affect the business opportunities and the competitive landscape in banking and finance? Are the inherent risks to privacy and financial stability being properly assessed and managed? And how should the regulatory framework evolve?

We will hear the views of three distinguished keynote speakers:

• Prof. Franklin Allen, Professor of Finance and Economics, Vice Dean of Research and Faculty, and Director of the Brevan Howard Centre at Imperial College London
• Ralph Hamers, UBS Group Chief Executive Officer
• Dr. Andréa M. Maechler, Member of the Governing Board of Swiss National Bank

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.
