Summary

City Week is back for its 15th annual edition! Held in-person over three days in London from 30 June to 2 July, as well as being live-streamed around the world, this year’s edition is taking place at a time of significant geopolitical developments that are set to have a profound effect on trade and investment flows, as well as the financial markets  that support them.

Organised in partnership with the UK Government, the City of London Corporation, TheCityUK, UK Finance and leading City institutions, this year’s edition will analyse all the current change drivers in international finance and their implications for financial institutions. At the heart of CW2025 are three separate summits on Net Zero Finance, Artificial Intelligence in Finance and Digital Assets/Tokenisation. All three programmes take innovation as their central theme and reflect the boardroom agenda of leading financial institutions.

Renowned for its content-rich agenda, exceptional speakers and unrivalled networking opportunities, City Week has become a must-attend event for senior decision-makers from not only the UK but also from all the other major financial centres.  More than 1,000 delegates attend this comprehensive week of cutting-edge presentations, panel discussions, social events and networking. Like previous editions, this year’s forum will feature many well-known names from the global financial services industry, the world of politics and the international regulatory community.

“Just because any asset can be tokenized does not mean that it should be.”

As with most innovative technology, the early days are filled with solutions to problems that don't really exist. A lot of entrepreneurs jumping on the hype because they know that it's something without maybe quite knowing what it is yet.

“This is becoming more of a board level conversation than ever before”

We need to distil what we mean by AI first. So, areas around predictive AI, neural networks, random forests, areas around deep learning, machine learning, those type of techniques and capabilities have been around for decades. It's been well-deployed if it's in organisations across financial services, government, telco and so on, well-deployed, well-utilised with great value.
