Paris, France | 11–12 May 2027

---

The Future Fintech Awards & Conference France 2027 is set to bring together leading voices from banking, financial technology, payments, digital finance, investment, and emerging technology for two days of industry discussions, knowledge exchange, networking, and recognition in Paris on 11–12 May 2027.

Organised by Next Business Media, the conference will provide a global platform for fintech innovators, financial institutions, technology leaders, startups, investors, and financial services professionals to examine the technologies and business models reshaping the future of finance.

The Paris edition will focus on the rapid evolution of financial services, with discussions spanning digital and intelligent banking, embedded finance, payments, artificial intelligence, open banking, digital assets, financial security, regulatory technology, and customer experience.

As financial institutions increasingly move toward technology-led operating models, the conference will create an environment where industry leaders can exchange practical insights, explore emerging opportunities, and develop relationships across the international fintech ecosystem.

A Global Platform for the Future of Finance

Future Fintech Awards & Conference has been established as a global platform connecting banks, payment providers, fintech founders, investors, regulators, technology companies, and financial services professionals.

The France edition will continue this mission in the European market, bringing together decision-makers and innovators to discuss how technology is changing the way financial products are designed, delivered, regulated, and experienced.

The conference will place particular emphasis on the convergence of financial services and emerging technologies. From real-time payment infrastructure and embedded financial products to artificial intelligence and digital assets, the programme will examine how innovation is moving from experimentation toward practical implementation.

The event will also provide opportunities for participants to showcase solutions, build partnerships, exchange ideas, and connect with organisations looking to accelerate digital transformation within financial services.

CEO’s Message

Anas Jawed, CEO of Next Business Media, highlights the importance of creating international platforms where financial leaders and technology innovators can engage in meaningful conversations about the future of the industry.

According to Jawed, the financial services landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation as artificial intelligence, embedded finance, instant payments, digital assets, and open banking continue to redefine traditional models.

The Future Fintech Awards & Conference France 2027 is designed to bring these developments into one focused environment, allowing industry professionals to move beyond discussions about disruption and examine the practical opportunities, challenges, and strategies shaping the next generation of finance.

The Paris gathering will also strengthen connections between European financial institutions and the wider global fintech ecosystem, creating opportunities for collaboration, investment, innovation, and knowledge sharing.

What Will Be Discussed at the Conference?

The conference programme will open with remarks from the conference chair before moving into a series of expert-led discussions examining the transformation of banking and financial services. The programme includes 12 sessions combining thought leadership, panel discussions, networking, and opportunities for industry engagement.

One of the central discussions will examine the future of banking and the shift toward digital, embedded, and intelligent financial services. Speakers will explore how banks are modernising their technology infrastructure, responding to changing customer expectations, and incorporating intelligent technologies into financial products and services.

Another major area of discussion will focus on embedded finance and its growing role across the wider economy. As financial products increasingly become integrated into non-financial platforms and customer journeys, industry experts will examine the opportunities created by banking-as-a-service, APIs, open banking, and new distribution models.

The programme will also address the transformation of payments and real-time financial infrastructure, including the evolution of instant payments, cross-border transactions, and technologies designed to make financial transfers faster, more efficient, and more accessible.

Artificial intelligence in financial services will form another important area of conversation. Industry leaders will explore applications of AI across fraud detection, risk assessment, customer service, underwriting, automation, financial decision-making, and operational efficiency, while also considering the importance of responsible deployment in highly regulated environments.

The conference will further examine RegTech, risk management, compliance, AML, KYC, and fraud prevention, highlighting how technology can help financial institutions manage increasingly complex regulatory and security requirements.

Discussions around digital assets, Web3, tokenisation, and emerging financial infrastructure will provide another perspective on the future of finance, including the growing role of stablecoins and tokenised assets within institutional financial ecosystems.

Together, these conversations will provide a broad view of how technology, regulation, customer expectations, and new business models are converging to reshape financial services.

Featured Voices Shaping the Conversation

The France edition will feature experienced professionals and thought leaders contributing to the wider Future Fintech programme.

Among the currently listed voices is Shelli Ryan, APR, Fellow PRSA, CEO of Ad Hoc Communication Resources, who is part of the Future Fintech speaker community.

Additional speakers, experts, and industry contributors will continue to be announced as the programme develops, bringing perspectives from financial institutions, fintech companies, technology providers, startups, and other organisations shaping the future of finance.

The conference is designed to give speakers a platform to share practical experiences, examine emerging trends, and contribute to conversations that extend beyond traditional financial services.
