Zurich, Switzerland

Europe's Definitive Finance,Technology and Policy Forum

Global finance is being rewired.

AI agents are executing transactions autonomously. Stablecoins are scaling toward a trillion-dollar market. New regulations and frameworks are moving from drafting to enforcement. And as technology advances, so does the need for a new foundation of trust. Now in its 5th edition, the Global Finance & Technology Network's (GFTN) annual global policy gathering, the Point Zero Forum brings together over 2,000 policymakers, central bankers, regulators, and industry leaders in Zurich for three days of dialogue at the intersection of finance, technology, and policy, where those shaping the rules and those implementing them meet to build what comes next.

The 2026 Dialogue

Five forces are converging to reshape how global finance operates: a new technology stack moving into production, the push for digital sovereignty, always-on markets, sweeping new regulation, and shifting capital corridors. This year, we are translating these forces into seven areas where the conversation is focused.

Be part of a global gathering of over 1500 central bankers, regulators, policymakers, industry leaders, and investors addressing the convergence of finance, technology, and security at a pivotal moment for the global financial system.

GFTN's mission is to harness technology and foster innovation through global partnerships for more efficient, resilient, and inclusive financial ecosystems. To support this, governments, policymakers, regulators, academics, students and nonprofits receive complimentary access to our global dialogues.
