What topics can you expect to see this year under the heading ‘Enabling the transition with asset-based finance’? Policymakers and business leaders broadly agree that the transformation is not only right and important but also involves considerable investment. Leading figures from politics, central banks and supervisory authorities in Germany and Europe unanimously emphasise the crucial role that the European Capital Markets Union should play in financing this process. There is also a clear commitment to strengthening asset-based finance and securitisation in particular. This is obvious, as around 80% of corporate financing in Europe is still provided by banks. In this regard, securitisations are proving to be an ideal instrument for effectively linking bank-based corporate financing with the capital markets. Despite this political agreement, concrete measures are now needed, as little has happened so far.
With a view to the upcoming EU parliamentary elections in June 2024 and the political agenda to be formed for the new legislature in Brussels, the public debate is gaining momentum. The political course for a market organisation that ensures fair competition between the various financial instruments and thus enables asset-based finance to contribute to financing the digital and sustainable transformation should be carefully considered.
We will focus intensively on analysing and discussing the following topics in detail at the TSI Congress 2024:
- Geopolitics and the
macroeconomic environment - Current developments in the financial markets
in Germany and Europe - Performance and developments of
individual asset classes - Regulatory
challenges
We can rely on the market's ability to work with appropriate regulation that enables a harmonious interplay between sustainability, growth and financial market stability. This will be crucial for a successful economic transformation in the coming decades. The TSI Congress is therefore dedicated to the central topic of promoting change through asset-based finance.
What else awaits you
The TSI Congress 2024 will once again take place as a purely onsite event this year. Instead of recording the panels, we are offering a user-friendly event app. You can use this app to network with other congress participants, communicate, create your personal agenda and find your way around the event.
The marketplace area will fill the entire hotel lobby this year. We will thus be bringing all exhibitors together in one place and using the previous marketplace area as a congress lounge.
Euro Lunch Break
Supporting programme
In addition to the purely professional exchange, networking is of course very important during these times. TSI offers all participants of the TSI Congress 2024 an extensive supporting programme.
This year, too, we will start with our pre-congress event at KfW on 9 October.
Immediately following our last panel on the first day of the congress, there will be a networking reception with drinks and finger food, which we cordially invite all guests to attend to review the congress day and share ideas with other participants.
This year, we are also bringing our new TSI Youngsters event series to Berlin for the first time. Parallel to our wine evening (‘by invitation only’), we invite all ‘youngsters’ to strengthen their network and exchange ideas with other young talents.
Afterwards, we again look forward to our popular chill-out and get-together, which this year will take place in our large event area.
To round off the second day of the congress, there will once again be a supporting programme outside the hotel in Berlin.
Some parts of the supporting programme require registration. All participants will receive separate invitations with registration options before the event.
