SFI–SSF Conference
This conference is fully booked and we are unfortunately no longer able to accept registrations. Thank you very much for your understanding.
In partnership with Swiss Sustainable Finance (SSF) and in association with Building Bridges (BB), the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI) is holding a high-profile conference on the role of financial innovation in accelerating the change towards a more sustainable world. The conference takes place in Zurich, on Wednesday, 13 September 2023.
While sustainability has become part of our everyday life, the need for rapid change is becoming increasingly evident. And financial innovation has a key role to play in accelerating this change. The conference will focus on current issues in sustainable finance. Ways of accelerating the transition will be sought, and discussion will range from climate risk for banks and whether CO2 should be considered a rare resource, to the challenges of scalability.
