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 features the dedicated Innotribe conference programme, moderated by well-known voices from the fintech ecosystem and beyond.

Innotribe

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

A ‘conference within a conference’, Innotribe explores 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 provides 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 provide participants with the opportunity to engage with industry experts and thought leaders.

Perfect Pitch

Perfect Pitch highlights emerging fintechs as they compete across three streams – banking and payments, innovation and inclusion and currencies, tokens and wallets.

An expert panel of bankers, venture capitalists, futurists and innovators 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.

Entries are now open for the sixth edition, with the winner crowned on stage at Sibos 2025 Frankfurt on Wednesday 1 October.

Swift Hackathon

Swift Hackathon brings together developers from across the financial services and banking community to collaborate and transform the future of capital markets.

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