Fintech never runs out of questions and we love asking the right ones.

So what can you expect on stage next year? While the full programme is still in the making, here’s a first glimpse into the themes that will lead the conversation.

As always, we’re staying true to our core tracks, but we’re also evolving with the latest needs and trends in fintech and banking. Think of it as a nod to where we’ve come from, and a response to what’s driving the industry right now.

Here are some of the first programme highlights we’re ready to share:

You don’t want to wait until April? Our next webinar comes to the rescue — this time diving into one of the hottest topics in finance: stablecoins.

Date: October 2, 2025

Time: 3:00 – 4:00 pm CET

Host: Astrid Dörner, US Correspondent, Handelsblatt

Stablecoins are no longer a crypto side story — they’re shaking up the very foundations of finance. From cross-border payments to programmable money, they’re rewriting the rules of how value is stored, moved, and regulated. In this session, we’ll dive into:

• Market impact: Are payments, settlements, and financial products being disrupted?
• Institutional interest: How are banks, fintechs, and corporates engaging with stablecoins?
• Regulatory frontlines: How can stakeholders navigate global rules and compliance hurdles?
• What lies ahead? Could the rise of stablecoins pave the way for CBDCs and a new financial infrastructure?

Our Panel Experts

• Peter Großkopf, CTO / COO, AllUnity
• Julia Hubo, Investor, Motive Ventures
• Tony McLaughlin, Founder, Ubyx

After a muted 2024, fintech IPOs are making headlines again. In the US, eToro, Chime, Circle, and Bullish have all gone public this year with strong investor demand, signalling a comeback for fintech on the stock markets.

But what about Europe? With names like Klarna, Monzo, Revolut, Bitpanda, and N26 in the spotlight, the question is whether 2026 could finally see a wave of European fintech listings – or whether our champions will continue to look across the Atlantic.

In our latest blog, we dive into the numbers, the frontrunners, and the market dynamics shaping the next fintech IPO wave.
