Overview

Europe is at a decisive turning point. As highlighted by the Draghi Report, future competitiveness will depend on mastering the technologies shaping the global economy.

Join the ICMA Future Leaders (IFL) Iberia Region for an engaging discussion on the innovations transforming Europe's future. Together, we will explore the latest advances in European quantum computing, AI, and data-intensive systems, and how these technologies are expected to reshape the financial sector and the wider economy.

Looking beyond today's challenges, we will examine how finance may evolve in the years ahead, the opportunities and risks that future generations will encounter, and the role Europe can play in building a secure, competitive, and technologically sovereign future.

This event will be conducted in English and will offer both online and in-person participation options. Access details for the online seminar will be provided in the registration confirmation email. For in-person attendees, a networking reception will be held following the event.
