Crytocurrencies / assets have moved well beyond the ‘simpler’ times of bitcoin. Get to grips with the fast pace of change in the crypto ecosystem. Are cryptcurrencies the answer to inefficiencies in payments and are consumers and businesses ready to rely on and transact with new stores of value?

Jeff Parker, Managing Director International, Marqeta
By 2030 we have to slash the world’s CO2 emissions in half. Nordic banks and policymakers are already leading the way, seeing sustainable investment as an opportunity combined with responsibility. Which solutions are available that can be scaled up in the short- and medium-term to accelerate the transformation towards a green(er) financial system?

The dash from cash. The first European country to issue banknotes, Sweden looks set to be one of the first European countries to get rid of them. With less than 32 ATMs per 100k people, over 98% of citizens owning a debit card, and one of the top countries for contactless mobile payments, physical cash is fast becoming a relic of the past in Sweden.
Philip Haglund, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Gimi
Ulrika Andersson, Chief Partnership Officer, Gimi
The Nordic region made progress in last year’s European Open Banking League Table. Renowned for payment innovation and a long tradition of cross-government cooperation, could they be the first countries to unlock open finance? With a number of open banking use cases, we’ll highlight what the market can achieve with:
Gunnar Berger, Head of Open Banking, Nordea

If they can grasp this game-changing opportunity effectively, it can be used as a catalyst for wider business model transformation.
Christoffer Rutgersson, Chief Executive Officer, Qliro

What prompted the sudden shift from ‘gradually’ to ‘suddenly’ and what other developments are on the horizon?
Innovation often looks to the next generation, and much of Gen Z is now mature enough to start driving behaviours and usage of technology. Is this an entertainment space for youngsters or will this be an important channel for the delivery of financial services that can’t be missed? Who is ahead of the game and can established providers create a forward-looking strategy to capture the opportunity? We’ll look at:
Janne Elvelid, Head of Policy, Sweden and Finland, Meta
Over the past few years, alternative lending has seen its position in the lending market grow considerably as needs and requirements change. One of the reasons it is continuing to take considerable market share is that working capital and short-term capital loans have played an increasingly important role for SMEs when they want to access funds to support their growth plans.
