Session Highlight
Invisible Banking: Agentic AI and the Shift to a Bank in the Background
March 19,
09:10-
09:40
In this fireside chat, Ken Villum Klausen, founder and CEO of Lunar, explores how agentic AI is changing the role of banks. When does it make sense to meet the customer directly, and when should AI work quietly in the background? The conversation looks at why simplicity must come first, how clarity builds trust, and how agentic AI moves banking from reactive to proactive. Agentic AI is discussed everywhere, but the real shift is how our relationship with banking changes, from something that demands time and attention to something that largely takes care of itself in the background.

Challenging ESG and the Davos Agenda
March 19,
14:00-
14:20
Should finance pursue purpose beyond profit? This keynote challenges the moral claims behind ESG and DEI, arguing that profit and discipline are not ethical failures but social goods. When finance blurs bottom-line performance with politics, capital is misallocated, innovation suffers, and trust in markets erodes.

Keynote
Regulation Without Breaking SMEs
March 19,
13:00-
13:40
Smaller financial institutions face the same regulatory expectations as large players, but with far fewer resources. This panel examines how regulatory burden impacts SMEs as they grow, and where compliance frameworks fail to scale with company maturity. Regulators, supervisors, and market participants discuss how strict compliance can coexist with proportionality, flexibility, and clear growth paths, allowing smaller firms to adapt, mature, and compete without compromising stability or trust.

AI is reshaping how customers expect to be served, but trust still hinges on human judgment.

The Silent Takeover: When Platforms Run the Banks
March 19,
16:20-
17:00
White-label platforms are quietly redefining financial services. Core capabilities, products, and innovation are being delivered as platforms to institutions that can’t build or move fast enough themselves. This panel examines how platform providers are becoming financial infrastructure, how control is shifting behind the scenes, and what it means when platforms, not brands, set the pace of innovation.
