Innovations in the banking sector

Innovation in banking – new growth opportunities for banks and wealth managers

Banking is global. Banking is exciting. Banking touches everyone, every day, in every country, every institution, and every business. It is at the same time among the fastest transforming industries.

Today’s most successful financial institutions in Europe and around the globe rely on strong business models, based on scalable and upgradable technology. It is technology that facilitates data protection and consistency, accounting, regulations, open banking, cybersecurity, time to market and, ultimately, the foundation for growth – top priorities for every financial services company.

To find out more about the opportunities which technology can provide, we invite to explore the unique combination of expertise which unites Finland and Switzerland. Avaloq, a leading company in banking software and services for the financial industry, organizes a high-level business forum for banks, IT specialists, business experts and officials in cooperation with the Swiss-Finland Chamber of Commerce Helsinki Contact Point. We would be delighted to meet you there.
