Attend L’AGEFI’s European Finance Forum 2023

L’AGEFI’s yearly European Finance FORUM is a key event for European investors and finance professionals hoping to understand the policy, regulatory and industry issues impacting the finance sector and the financing of the economy at a European level.

Amongst other topics, our speakers will discuss how Europe is coping with the adverse context of 2023, mixing inflation, geopolitical crises and energy crisis, while providing attendees (notably, finance and investment players) with valuable information allowing them to better anticipate risks and identify market opportunities.

This forum will also cover the ongoing central topics for finance professionals: digital banking with central bank digital currencies, and environmental transition. These topics both imply a deep understanding of regulatory implications, as well as a continuous search for concrete measures.

The 2023 edition will be divided into 2 sections:

  • A morning of conferences bringing together European decision-makers and representatives for high-level debates on the crucial issues facing the entire financial industry
  • In the afternoon, workshops will focus on key investment and financial allocation themes, with concrete exchanges between asset managers and asset owners from all over Europe

Enjoy some selected moments of the conference!
