Embracing a New Economic Era: Finance as a Catalyst for Transformation

In today’s rapidly evolving business and financial landscape, a profound transformation is underway. The adoption of global financial standards, coupled with innovative metrics such as nature-based and climate-related disclosures, is reshaping economic systems.

This session examines how investment firms across banking, public, multi-asset, private, and commercial markets are partnering with emerging economies, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and stakeholders managing nature-based projects. We’ll explore strategic approaches that prioritize collaboration, accountability, and inclusion, unlocking new opportunities in the transition to a more sustainable economic model.

This new era comes with a huge data requirement and a huge regulatory burden. What technologies are there to assist this and how will AI help?  

A final discussion point wil be how do we drive broader economic growth when banks and capital markets don’t lend to small companies.
