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.

How to Operationalize Your Data for AI and Analytics 

First published here.

As your organization relies more on analytics for insights and decision-making based on artificial intelligence (AI), the need to bring your data together in a cohesive way becomes a business imperative. Data lakes are good for ad-hoc analytics, but don’t deploy neatly to end users.

“AI without application is nothing.”

So, my perspective is that the AI infrastructure that we have currently is completely not ready for it, far from ready for it. So going back to your question, Maurice, the biggest opportunity that I see in AI right now is actually on restructuring or rethinking the AI inferencing or AI infrastructure so that it can be better prepared for the age of inferencing.
