Future of Finance 2023 | Financial Times | 14 June 2023 | Virtual Event

From the rise of digital payments to banking in the metaverse, the financial sector continues to undergo radical transformation, driven by the development of new technologies and changing consumer needs and expectations. But the collapse of several banks in the first half of 2023 has left investors with little confidence in the global financial system and sent shockwaves through the industry. What does the crisis of confidence in the banking sector mean for Europe’s fintechs? Do virtual worlds really mean big business? And how will Artificial Intelligence (AI) transform financial services?

This events returns to Europe’s leading tech festival - TNW - for a two-day event full of discussion and debate on what lies ahead for an industry in flux.
