The event motto,

«Disruption drives innovation», was omnipresent in the presentations. At the same time, sponsors and investors engaged in intensive discussions in the spacious networking zone. The modern sponsor walls provided a welcomed orientation.

Bringing innovation to life

Innovation has always been a top priority at FINANZ, whether as a platform for innovative investment themes and products or in the further development of the event format. Last year's edition was the first to feature the live launch of a listed financial product, celebrated with the ringing of the SIX stock exchange bell. With FINANZ26, the bell of Europe's third-largest stock exchange has become an integral part of the event. It symbolizes the connection between the financial industry and the stock exchange. In a cooperation with SIX Swiss Exchange, FINANZ will continue to offer sponsors a stage for launching their listed products in front of their target audience. «Working with our sponsors and partners to develop the future of FINANZ mains our most important driver- and with new formats and content, this is increasingly extending beyond the main event itself», emphasizes Managing Director Julian Malgiaritta. FINANZ27 will take place again at the Kongresshaus Zurich/Switzerland on March 17 and 18, 2027.
