FINTECH 2022 – MASTERING THE TRANSFORMATION
2022-06-29 08:00 - 17:30 (Europe/Zurich)
On the 29th of June, the FinTech 2022 Forum will take place at the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute in Zurich.

Banks and insurance companies are undergoing a multi-layered transformation. In order to master the digital transformation with all its facets, banks, insurance companies, start-ups and the like must be successful on many fronts at the same time. Organizational culture, technological know-how, and creative business models and strategies must interact symbiotically to master the transformation. Organizational culture must allow for more agile and collaborative approaches. Technology must pave the way from the back to the front office. And last but not least, financial players must have the courage to enter new strategic territory with open finance, new business models and value chains.

Those who neglect the interfaces between these success factors risk losing customers and talent and being among the losers in the next chapter of the transformation. That’s why the leading FinTech conference of “Finanz und Wirtschaft” brings together thought leaders, visionary practitioners and decision makers from different sectors. Together, at “FinTech 2022”, we will shed light on the interplay between technologies, future-proof mindsets, and strategic courage and creativity.

INDEXING FORUM 2022 – IMPLEMENT INVESTMENT STRATEGIES PASSIVELY
2022-06-21 08:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Zurich)
On the 21st of june 2022, Karen Wendt will moderate the “Thematic Funds for New Growth Potentials” Panel at te Indexing Forum 2022 at the Dolder Grand in Zurich

Passive investment solutions such as index funds and ETFs are indispensable tools for many investors. They are useful for long-term provisioning, for steady portfolio building, or for tactically participating in market developments. Index investments are transparent and cost-effective – thanks to fierce price competition among providers. And they are on the road to success. ETFs attracted more capital last year than ever before, and the number of new issues also rose to a record high.

Many of the latest index investments come from three areas: they follow a rules-based strategy, they take into account environmental, social and good governance (ESG) criteria, or they are focused on a specific investment theme, such as infrastructure or the cloud business. Passive financial products offer a wide variety of options, as they can be used to map any clearly defined strategy. The choice for investors is diverse.

We invite you to explore the potential of passive investment solutions. Discuss with top-class experts at the Indexing Forum of “Finanz und Wirtschaft”. We look forward to welcoming you on June 21.

Blockchain in Financial Services 2022
2022-05-31 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Zurich)
The prices of cryptocurrencies rise and fall with the whims of the markets, but the blockchain, it remains. Its triumph seems unstoppable, especially as the decentralization of finance (DeFi) advances. The paradigm shift is not yet complete, but more and more financial services are relying on DeFi principles. One thing is certain, the potential of these approaches is enormous. But how can traditional financial institutions prepare for these developments? How can a blockchain strategy be developed that fully exploits the potential of DeFi? How can Switzerland maintain its position as a leading Blockchain nation in the future? We look forward to welcoming you to the “Finanz und Wirtschaft” blockchain conference. We bring together thought leaders from the crypto scene with decision makers from the financial center to assess strategic opportunities and risks and help shape the future of a decentralized financial economy.

Sustainable Investment Forum 2022
2022-05-10 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Zurich)
Using investments to make an impact on the sustainability of society and finance is more important today than ever before. Pension funds, the financial sector and industrial companies each have different priorities.
Focal points such as promoting sustainable positive social development or investing in companies with a sustainable business model are increasingly coming into focus (impact investing). In contrast to environmental and social governance, where rating agencies are evaluating the environmental and social risk models of companies, impact investing is a forward looking approach, that wants to make a real world positive environmental and social impact through the business model.
Private and institutional investors have increasingly broad opportunities to use diversified strategies to move market behavior in ESG-compliant directions, create SDG-alignment and embark on the journey to impact investing. The EU with its action plan for sustainable Finance wants to redirect money to green and social investments. Meet all these different approaches at the Sustainable Investment Forum 2022.
We invite you to use the on-site expertise as a compass for your own path in the ESG world and look forward to welcoming you in person on May 10.

Can fundraising be a walk in the park?
2022-01-31 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/Paris)
Fundraising can be scary and overwhelming, especially if this is your first time.
Do you find yourself struggling with the following fears?

Not sure when is the right time to start fundraising. Start too late – risk going bankrupt. Start too early – lose time and investors’ credibility.
Do not know where to find investors? Who, where and how? Hard to get a response if you don’t know anyone. Too many investors – how do you know whom to contact?
Do not understand startup finance. SAFE, convertible debt and equity are all commonly used for startup finance. What vehicle do I choose? What will it mean for me? Not understanding the terms can make it impossible to raise future rounds of financing.
Not sure what to have ready for fundraising. Pitch deck, financial model, but what else? If you don’t have your data room ready, investors will not take you seriously. Document requirements are different for different financing vehicles.
Don’t understand what red flags to watch out for. Control & information rights, anti-dilution, liquidation preferences. If you don’t understand what you are agreeing to, you risk losing your company. 4 out of 5 founders lose control of their company.

Our course “Fundraising Strategy and Financing Vehicles for Early-Stage Startups” can help you overcome those obstacles and make you feel confident during the fundraising process and investor negotiations. No prior finance experience is required.
What will you learn:
1) How to create the investors pipeline and which tools to use for investor research and outreach.2) What you need to have ready for fundraising.3) How to choose an accelerator which is the best fit for you and evaluate if you need one at all.4) Three main financing vehicles: equity, SAFE, convertible debt; how they work, and pros and cons of each.5) Control and information rights and other deal breakers to watch out for.
