Forum of Innovative Financial Technologies FINOPOLIS 2021/22 began its work

Forum of Innovative Financial Technologies FINOPOLIS 2021/22 has begun its work today November 10 at Crocus Expo. The Mission of FINOPOLIS is to facilitate the introduction of innovative technologies into Russia’s financial sector. The forum, which is being held by the Bank of Russia in partnership with IT and financial market leaders, has become the country’s largest platform for the discussion and analysis of trends and opportunities for the use of modern digital technologies in the financial sector.

The FINOPOLIS 2021/22 innovative financial technologies forum’s business agenda hosts four plenary discussions and more than 20 break-away sessions and round-tables.

The events will be segmented in 3 sections:

As per tradition, FINOPOLIS starts off with a plenary discussion moderated by Bank of Russia Governor Elvira Nabiullina. The discussion topic is "Digital Development. How Do We Keep the Pace?". Speakers will discuss the future of Russian technology, competitiveness of the Russian digital infrastructure, and security as a prerequisite for digital development.

The second plenary discussion of the day, "Digital Surfing: Wave upon Wave", is dedicated to the digital platforms evolution, identification, and the ever more relevant promotion and application of open APIs. The discussion will be moderated by Olga Skorobogatova, First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia.

The second day of the forum will see two plenary sessions. "The Digital Ruble and the Development of Digital Financial Assets" session deals with digital ruble, non-cash payments tokenization, and the latest developments in digital financial assets. Last but not least, comes the "Technologies of the Future discussion", where the future of digital services and quantum tech will be brought up along with artificial intelligence.

Other relevant issues to be part of the conversation are digital insurance, instant payment, application of Unified Biometric and commercial biometric systems, digital inclusivity, cybersecurity, and Russian IT to name a few.

Leading experts and leaders of the fintech industry, banking and IT communities, as well as representatives of government bodies will discuss key issues of the use of digital technologies, import substitution, the development of digitalization and much more.

The forum will have an exhibition area, and on the streets of the interactive city FINOLAND, visitors will see the latest advances in financial technology.

See you at Crocus Expo November 10 and 11!
