Shaping the Next Frontiers of Global Finance Through Innovation, AI, and Stronger Capital Markets

Stephan Leithner commented on this as follows:

“The world’s leading financial services forum Sibos is taking place in Frankfurt for the first time. More than 12,000 experts are exploring "The Next Frontiers of Global Finance". From digital evolution to investor access and from AI to DLT – the future of finance is being forged in Frankfurt over the next few days. We at Deutsche Börse Group are strongly committed!

The AI acceleration in our industry was a key topic in my CNBC interview: AI is changing the way market participants make decisions, innovate, and compete. In the medium to long term, AI will influence most of the industry's core processes and services. Deutsche Börse Group has been laying the foundation for an accelerated AI journey for many years by digitizing products proactively, driving our journey into the cloud, and consistently growing our data businesses as a basis for AI – so we see AI as a positive accelerator and are convinced that we are very well-positioned to capture the benefits of AI.

But we have a wider responsibility as the European Champion in capital market infrastructure: Our 16,000 engineers of the capital markets are focused on innovation, operating a resilient infrastructure, and living up to our long-term responsibility for the benefit of our clients.

Strengthening capital markets is key to funding infrastructure, driving innovation, and ensuring safe and fair pensions. Beyond our own and our partners' contributions as infrastructure providers, Europe urgently needs to act on the current proposals through the EU Savings and Investments Union to realize the full potential of its capital market.

Let's join forces to shape the future of financial markets!”
