Vienna at the forefront of financial disruption
Europe’s financial system is changing — fast. Cash is declining. Digital payments are taking over. A digital euro is in development. And most people have no idea what any of it actually means for their money.
This edition of Innovation Night brings together four people who are building, managing, and challenging the new financial infrastructure from the inside:
— Heimo Ertl, CEO, Geldservice Austria — the institution that manages Austria’s physical cash
— Harald Flatscher, Managing Director, Payment Services Austria — rolling out Europe’s new real-time payment network
— Jonas Jünger, Managing Director, Cyclops EEC Services GmbH — building stablecoin infrastructure in Vienna
— Prof. Richard Werner, Modul University Vienna — one of Europe’s most provocative voices on how money actually works
Moderated by Eva Komarek, Die Presse.
If you are working in fintech, studying finance, investing in the space, or just tired of hearing the word “disruption” without anyone explaining what it actually means for your money — this one’s for you.
