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.

The Fintech Ireland Summit will focus on the challenges and opportunities for fintech as a driver for economic growth with real-life showcases while looking ahead to future enablers of fintech and techfin, including.

 

  • 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.

  • Sustainable and green finance: sorting the wheat from the chaff - differentiating between real innovation and greenwashing.

  • CBDCs: ewallet and payment firms may soon be complemented by (or face competition from) retail and wholesale central bank digital currencies. How will these new digital payment methods work?; how will CBDCs benefit the consumer and wholesale markets?; and what problem are they actually seeking to solve?

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

  • Strategies and government initiatives: the role of regulatory and private sandboxes, national payment plans and national fintech hubs.

  • Operational resilience: future proofing fintech and their use of technology platforms to address DORA.

 

Join us the first Fintech Ireland Summit this November to contribute to unleashing the potential and addressing the limitation of the new digital and decentralised world.

 

Who should attend:

This summit welcomes ambitious, innovative fintech professionals from all sectors and financial leaders committed to steering their organizations toward a resilient future through strategic talent management and robust technological integration.
