Identification: Building the Digital Trust of Tomorrow

In a context of rapid technological acceleration, digital trust is now built on a constellation of tools: blockchain, artificial intelligence, cryptography, digital identity, sovereignty...

The conferences will be full of perspectives. Topics will include new decentralised architectures, interoperability between states, object identity, data security, and how AI is being used to detect fraud and secure user journeys.

Payment: The Future of Payments Takes Shape

To explore current topics and trends in innovative payment solutions, the PAY Room will be the ideal place to cultivate your knowledge and engage with industry experts. Payments are evolving at a rapid pace, driven by the rise of cryptocurrencies, the emergence of Web3, the boom in biometrics, and growing demands for transparency (particularly in terms of regulation, transaction traceability, data usage, and cost). These inspiring sessions will immerse you in the heart of today’s transformations, highlighting the bridges being built between traditional and decentralised ecosystems.

Instant payments will also be on the agenda, having quickly become the new European standard, with significant impacts on usage, regulation, and business models. Future challenges in the payment world will be explored through panel discussions full of insights. In this fast-changing landscape, user experience remains a central concern: how can we ensure maximum fluidity while strengthening transaction security?
