The digital euro is the European Central Bank’s planned digital currency. It aims to enable fast, secure, and widely accepted payments across Europe, reduce costs, and foster innovation. Its goal is to strengthen independence, data protection, and competitiveness in the European payments landscape.
Topic 2 – Acceptance Solutions
Acceptance solutions turn payment options into completed transactions. Reliable terminals, smooth online checkouts, and broad payment-method support let customers pay however they prefer — making flexible, omnichannel acceptance ever more critical as commerce evolves.

Tokenized assets bring real-world value onto digital rails. Representing securities, real estate, and more as tokens enables faster settlement, fractional ownership, and greater liquidity — making tokenization a key building block of tomorrow's financial ecosystem.
Topic 4 – AI I Fraud
AI is reshaping how the industry fights fraud. By analyzing transactions in real time, it spots suspicious patterns and stops threats before they cause harm — making intelligent, adaptive fraud prevention indispensable as attacks grow more sophisticated.

Fishbowl - Round 3
Topic 5 – Regulation
Regulation sets the framework for a secure and trustworthy payment industry. Frameworks like PSD2, instant payments mandates, and AML rules protect consumers and ensure fair competition — making clear, forward-looking regulation ever more critical as innovation accelerates.
Topic 6 – Customer Use
Customer use cases show where payment innovation meets everyday life. From mobile wallets to embedded and one-click payments, seamless experiences turn technology into real convenience — making a customer-centric approach ever more critical as expectations rise.
17:05 - 17:35
Panel 4: Cybersecurity I Fraud I ID
Cybersecurity, fraud prevention, and digital identity form the backbone of trust in payments. Strong authentication, real-time fraud detection, and reliable identity verification protect customers and providers alike — making integrated security and identity strategies ever more critical as digitalization advances.
