The financial sector is undergoing a period of rapid transformation, and the Financial Innovation Summit has established itself as the leading forum where industry leaders come together to decipher the future. Now in its seventh edition, it promises a deep dive into the technologies and strategies that are changing not only operations, but the very DNA of finance.
This FIS2025 reveals a clear protagonist: Artificial Intelligence, approached as a 360º strategic axis. Alongside it, cybersecurity in the custody of digital assets, the emergence of DeFi, and the revolution in the insurance sector will mark the conference.
Below, we review the topics to be discussed and a preliminary analysis of our participation and sponsorship in the Financial & FinTech Innovation Summit 2025.
AI 360º: The New Strategic Axis for Banking and CFOs
Artificial Intelligence has transcended the category of "trend" to become the strategic pillar of the financial sector. FIS 2025 makes this clear by dedicating multiple panels to its impact, not only on technology, but also on business and leadership. The conversation will go beyond algorithms to focus on:
- The Strategic Role for The CFO: We will analyze how AI is redefining the financial function, optimizing decision-making, and helping CFOs navigate geopolitical and market complexity.
- Humanization of Banking: Far from depersonalizing, we will discuss how AI can free professionals from repetitive tasks so they can focus on higher-value advice, making banking "more human than ever."
- Data Quality: The effectiveness of any AI system depends on the information that feeds it. Data quality and management are critical success factors for any implementation.
The Challenges of Cybersecurity and Financial Asset Custody
As digital assets, from cryptocurrencies to tokenized assets, gain ground, protecting them becomes one of the biggest challenges for the industry. The event will address this issue, directly linking cybersecurity with custody. The discussion will focus on the need for robust, regulated infrastructures that guarantee the security of these new assets, combining regulatory frameworks such as DORA with advanced security architectures such as Zero Trust.
DeFi and Tokenization: The Next Generation of FinTech
If the first wave of FinTech digitized traditional services, the new generation, driven by decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenization, seeks to rebuild them. We will explore how these technologies, based on blockchain and smart contracts, are creating a more open, efficient, and accessible financial system. Real-world use cases will be analyzed that go beyond cryptocurrencies, covering the tokenization of illiquid assets and the creation of new capital markets.
Revolutionizing Insurance: AI and Innovation in The Insurtech Sector
The insurance sector is undergoing its own revolution, a point that FIS 2025 highlights with a dedicated panel. AI is transforming the entire value chain: from personalized risk underwriting and fraud detection to automation in claims management. We will explore how Insurtech companies are collaborating with traditional insurers to create more flexible, customer-centric products based on real-time data.
Open Finance and Web3: Towards a Connected Ecosystem
The future of banking is open and connected. The evolution of regulations such as PSD2 and the future PSD3 is consolidating Open Finance, allowing users to share their data securely between different entities. This empowers technologies such as "bank scraping" to offer value-added services, such as financial aggregators or more accurate credit scoring analysis. Supported by scalable Cloud Banking infrastructures and with an eye on a decentralized future with Web3, the sector is moving towards a model of integrated platforms where the bank becomes the epicenter of a much broader ecosystem of services.
Tecalis' Proposal for The Banking of The Future
Our involvement in the Financial Innovation Summit goes beyond sponsorship; we are there to present the tools that respond to the major challenges facing the sector. The focus of our proposal this year is on innovative self-service kiosks, designed to transform bank branches or deploy financial services in new commercial environments. These all-in-one devices allow users to verify their identity, sign contracts with a digital signature, and obtain a card instantly.
We will also show how our digital onboarding platform combines KYC, KYB, and AML technologies to design faster and smoother onboarding processes, while ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks such as PSD3, DORA, MiCA, and eIDAS2 to accelerate customer acquisition with a superior experience.
A Roadmap for The Financial Future
The Financial Innovation Summit 2025 promises to be much more than a trend update. This year's agenda offers a strategic roadmap, where AI is the engine, cybersecurity is the shield, and tokenization is the vehicle towards a new financial ecosystem. The big challenge for industry leaders will be to integrate these innovations in a coherent, secure way that brings real value to the customer.
At Tecalis, we share this vision and are ready to take on these challenges, co-creating the future of finance.
