About the
Fintech Ireland Summit
Fintech is now a settled part of everyday life. Yet it risks being misunderstood in terms of its potential and limitations.

-
Regtech: the foundation to running any fintech or government identity programmes.

Digital assets: both MICAR and non-MiCAR covered, crypto, blockchains and tokenisations; their roles in the future of Europe and rest of the world.
-
Artificial intelligence: beyond ChatGPTimpact on development and delivery of existing and new fintech services.

-
CBDCs: ewallet and payment firms may soon be complemented by (or face competition from) retail and wholesale central bank digital currencies.

Suptech: achieving financial stability, market integrity, consumer protection and reducing financial crime.
