Community and Networking

Discover the future of banking

Discover brings together innovation stakeholders from across the financial ecosystem to drive connections and collaborative innovation. Participants will have the chance to network with cutting-edge fintech firms from around the world and gain valuable insights from innovators shaping the future of finance.

Alongside the exhibition space, Discover will feature the dedicated Swift Innotribe conference programme, moderated by well-known voices from the fintech ecosystem and beyond. Plus, the highly competitive Pitch Perfect and Swift Hackathon contests return for Sibos 2024 Beijing.

Swift Innotribe

At the heart of Discover, Swift Innotribe will open a window into the future of finance, with fresh perspectives on technology, society and our digital tomorrow.

A ‘conference within a conference’, Innotribe 2024 will delve into the most important topics for the sector from the role of generative AI and virtual technologies to the impact of climate change for financial hubs across the globe.

Discover Stage

The Discover Stage will once again provide the Sibos community with an opportunity to present thought leadership on topics spanning the digital finance landscape, helping drive the connections and collaborative innovation required to future-proof the industry.

Networking events

Networking is at the heart of Discover and curated events throughout the week will provide participants with the opportunity to engage with industry experts and thought leaders.

Perfect Pitch

Perfect Pitch will return in 2024 for its fifth year. A selection of emerging fintechs will battle it out in a live final at Sibos on Wednesday 23 October. Fintechs will compete across three new streams – banking and payments, innovation and inclusion and currencies, tokens and wallets.

An expert panel of bankers, venture capitalists, futurists and innovators will select three finalists for each stream to present in the live final, offering fintechs from across the globe an opportunity to showcase their products and services to the Sibos community.

Swift Hackathon 2024

Back for its fourth edition, Swift will bring together developers from across the financial services and banking community to collaborate and transform the future of capital markets.

Participating teams will come together from across the world to respond to pressing industry challenges, redefining post-trade transactions with cutting-edge solutions. Swift Hackathon 2024 winners and runners-up will then present their ideas on the Swift Innotribe stage during Sibos.

The Swift Hackathon will take place from 2-13 September and entries close on 15 August. Learn more about the Swift Hackathon 2024.
