11th Edition : 2026 Overview of AI in Business

The financial ecosystem is undergoing a radical convergence. In a worldwhere finance is becoming ubiquitous, Digital and Generative AI haveshifted from innovation opportunities to existential stakes.Three major forces are currently reshaping value generation :

• Value Chain Fragmentation : Competition is migrating to new frontiers. The battle is now about capturing new consumer segments through novel products and the mass-democratization of services making high-end "wealth management for all" a reality.
• Digital & GenAI as Survival Stakes : As financial touchpoints multiply across every aspect of life, institutions must industrialize GenAI not merely to optimize, but to survive in a hyper-responsive, fully digitalized market.
• Regulatory Intensity (DORA & ESG) : The bar is rising. Compliance has evolved from capital adequacy to operational survival, mandating strict cyber-resilience, data openness (PSD3), and sustainability reporting.

‍

These disruptions force stakeholders to address critical strategic questions:

• AI Strategy: How to pivot GenAI from "pilot" to a core driver of ROI and customer acquisition ?
• Resilience: How to ensure DORA compliance and security in an open, fragmented ecosystem ?
• Business Model: How to redefine the portfolio: compete as a distributor or partner as a "manufacturing" utility ?
