Berlin Group Open Finance Conference 2023 | Bank-Verlag | 22 May 2023 | Radisson Blu - Ballroom Dow Jones, Franklinstraße 65 60486 Frankfurt am Main

Focused around Open Finance standardisation and API Access Scheme services, as the two key ingredients (‘It takes two to tango’) that make Open Finance services really work in practice between market supply- and demand-side, the Berlin Group Open Finance Conference 2023 will show that the TIME TO TANGO has arrived.

The standards and API Access Scheme services allow the market supply- and demand-side to implement compelling, interoperable and innovative value-added services for end-users in e-commerce, securities business, trade finance, wealth management, smart contracting and insurances. More industries are on the radar for being opened up.

As a solid foundation to the industry and with ~80 % market coverage, It is again leading the way on modern and interoperable API-centric standards.
This years event will again provide a platform that brings together a fine selection of regulatory, policy and industry decision-makers in the field of Open Banking | Finance | Data and promises to be as informative and engaging as the previous conferences.

The conference also offers exceptional networking opportunities during breaks, lunches and an evening Get Together social event on Day 1.
