Opening speech ➡︎ SCALE-UP scene

Keynote- The digital euro is now!

What is the Banque de France's view of the current economic situation, but also of crypto regulatory developments? With the acceleration of experiments with central bank digital currencies (MNBC), how can a strong digital euro be an asset for Europe in a world where China wants to gradually free itself from the dollar? What are the ambitions of the Banque de France and the ECB?

• Denis Beau, Senior Deputy Governor, Banque de France

Interview - Beyond the Coins

The European crypto and blockchain ecosystem has started to equip itself with a legal arsenal. What lessons can be drawn from this first wave of legislation for the next texts to come? What devices do crypto players put in place to ensure the protection of users, a real compass for regulators?

• Changpeng Zhao, CEO, Binance

Keynote- Welcome to the Metaverse!

Sébastien Borget, co-founder of The Sandbox, the tricolor nugget to conquer the metaverse, will give us the keys to what some consider to be the future of the internet, and its interactions with crypto-assets and blockchain technology.

• Sebastien Borget, Founder, The Sandbox

Crossed looks - Taking on Web3

Web3 is at the center of all conversations for those interested in digital innovation and data technologies. Some present it as, purely and simply, the replacement for Web2. Others see it only as a fad. Still others, as a supplement that will open up new uses, new models, new worlds. Isn't the best way to think about the situation to give some examples of ambitious projects?

• Sebastien Badault, VP Metaverse & Web3, Ledger
• Christophe Vattier, co-founder and CEO, Royaltiz

• Benoit de Juvigny, Secretary General, French Financial Markets Authority (AMF)

COFFEE BREAK

Round table - Cyber: the rise of perils?

While the “database” of our societies constitutes a considerable technological promise, it simultaneously implies a multiplication and sophistication of cyberattacks. A strategic resource par excellence, financial data is at the heart of these threats. What solutions can be envisaged to ensure this security in the financial field? What will be the roles and contributions of regulation and new technologies (blockchain, AI) to secure data, while ensuring their necessary fluidity of circulation?

• Juliette Delanoe, co-founder and CMO, Ubble
• Paul Frambot, co-founder and president, Morpho Labs
• Commander Emilie Mercier, Squadron Leader, Head of the Strategy Department, Gendarmerie Command in Cyberspace (ComCyberGend)
• Ingrid Soellner, CMO, Tehtris

• Sebastien Lescop, Managing Director, Cloud Temple
• Gregoire Peiron, Digital Natives and Corporate Director, Google Cloud France

Crossed looks - Who still wants to be a bank? 

Does it still make sense to house all financial professions under one roof? Is the future for specialists? Clearly, what is the added value of a bank? Do Open Banking and the DSP2 brought by regulation in the face of new consumer expectations sound the death knell for 150 years of universal banking? Or do fintech entrepreneurs dream of becoming bankers themselves? What impact will the new cyber risks have on these new mutations?

• Thomas Courtois, CEO, Nickel
• Stephane Vallois, CEO, Orange Bank

LUNCH

Keynote- Will the climate have the skin of insurance? 

Insurance is fundamentally a response to the need to pool risks, measured historically and statistically. Will the model withstand the gigantic challenge posed by climate change? Is innovation the answer?

Thanks to the fusion of satellite imagery, public and meteorological data, and indicators of human activity, how to develop, in collaboration with insurers, "2.0" risk models that are transparent, dynamic and deployable on a large scale ? Discover Kayrros' innovative approach, which enables the insurance world to be better equipped to face climate challenges and to rethink its businesses around risk management and customer service.

• Jean-Pierre Dacher, CTO, Kayros

Round table - Neo-banks, neo-insurers, same destiny?

Insurtech is one of the most dynamic fintech sectors and the potential for technological innovation, use and model is considerable. But insurtechs have so far chosen to help the insurer rather than circumvent it. Will this last? Neo-insurers experienced very rapid development, like neo-banks a few years earlier. Beyond the “disruptive” customer experience, will business models that increase the “lifetime value” of customers be the key to long-term success?

• Joao Cardoso, CEO, Lovys
• Jonathan Denais, managing director, OpenCNP
• Arthur Denouveaux, Research and Innovation Director of MMA and Affinity and Partnership Director of Covéa Affinity
• Aurore Gaspar, Deputy CEO French Retail Banking, Societe Generale

Crossed looks - Cyber-risk: maximum risk seeks cover

While the cyber threat has never been so strong and the demand for coverage is exploding, the supply of insurance is tending to shrink. After the pandemic and the climatic risks, the demand for coverage is exploding while the supply of coverage tends to contract. Will cyber risk be the wrecker of the system? What do insurtechs offer?

• Christophe Gautie, senior partner, Aon Tech
• Jules Veyrat, CEO, Stoik

COFFEE BREAK

Data and UX: the partnership model for experimenting with new banking uses.

• Maxime Havez, chief data officer, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa

Split payment is seeing its popularity with consumers and merchants grow sharply. Does this practice lead, as some regulators seem to think, to over-indebtedness? Should the practice be regulated, and if so, in what form?

• Jocelyne Amegan-Douaud, CEO, Django
• Geoffroy Guigou, co-founder and COO, Younited Credit

Round table - Employees: an endangered species?

The platform economy has encouraged the development of self-employed, self-employed and auto-entrepreneurs. Sometimes at the price of abuse that justice has undertaken to punish.

• Laura Pallier, co-founder, Regate

LUNCH

Keynote- Talents: a new balance of power?

Employees, especially the youngest, expect their company to be part of a search for global meaning, shared values, but also quality of life and working conditions. This expectation is so strong that their commitment depends on it.

Cognitive sciences provide reading keys.

• Mary Lacroix, doctor in neuroscience, co-founder, Cog'x

• Marc Sabatier, CEO, Julhiet Sterwen
• Jacques-Olivier Schatz, Managing Director, Pledg

Keynote- From the philosophy of unicorns: life lessons from the digital revolution

"Know thyself" ! The oldest injunction of philosophy tells us that to succeed in life, we must first know who we are. However, in barely a generation, the spectacular rise of digital innovations has transformed all our habits: today, all you have to do is open an account on TikTok or MetaMask to understand that we are no longer the same. Decoding our digital culture and drawing the right lessons from it is an invitation to (re)become masters of ourselves and our future.

• Charleyne Biondi, PhD, author of De-coding: a digital counter-history
