What’s (re)shaping the financial markets – a podcast by Euroclear

In an era defined by rapid technological change, what does it take to guide a business forward and what does that mean for all of us?

Joining us for this conversation are two visionary leaders: futurist and fintech pioneer Brett King and Euroclear’s Chief Information Officer - and resident Star Wars fan - Michal Paprocki.

Inside the conversation

We explore:

  • how artificial intelligence is reshaping every industry and making real-time, autonomous operations the new norm
  • the shift from privacy to data ownership and the growing importance of digital identity
  • the role of cloud technology and the energy challenge of powering tomorrow’s financial infrastructure
  • building trust in an age of complex algorithms and transparency gaps
  • the need for new skills, agile mindsets and a culture of collaboration to thrive in a rapidly changing world

Brett and Michal share bold predictions, from longevity treatments to the rise of autonomous vehicles, and reflect on the human qualities needed to navigate the future.

They also share personal inspirations and practical advice for embracing change.

Tune in to hear candid insights, bold predictions and practical advice for thriving in a world where technology and finance are increasingly intertwined.
