Capital Markets Day 2024

The inaugural Capital Markets Day took place this September at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. Organized in close collaboration between Frankfurt School Verlag and PwC, the conference brought together leading experts to discuss the evolving landscape of capital markets.

In today’s environment, capital markets are more dynamic than ever, driven by multiple factors. The advancement of the Capital Markets Union remains a priority, with initiatives like the European Consolidated Tape and enhanced clearing within the EU taking center stage. Simultaneously, there are significant breakthroughs in digitalization, where tokenization is poised to revolutionize trading and settlement processes for financial instruments.

Amid these shifts, the capital markets are also called to play an active role in Europe’s transformation toward sustainability, climate neutrality, and innovation. These changes offer new revenue opportunities but also introduce challenges and risks. Key questions arise: How can firms successfully navigate this complex environment?

The event featured prominent speakers from top financial institutions and firms, such as UniCredit Bank, Deutsche Bank, DZ BANK AG, and Commerzbank AG, who shared insights on strategies for positioning in this transformative period.
The discussions delved into the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and digitalization, offering attendees invaluable perspectives on how to thrive amidst the evolving capital markets landscape.
