36. Value Management Forum
„Digital EURO – SMART FINANCE?“

In 2023 basic conditions in corporate finance and industrial manufacturing are significantly changing: increasing interest rates, rising inflation, growing political uncertainty, newly defining supply chains with focus on climate targets. One of the key financial improvements planned is the Digital EURO:
1. What exactly is SMART FINANCE?
2. What is the current status at Bundesbank und European Central Bank (ECB) regarding the Digital EURO?
3. Which improvements should banks, industrial & service companieas and private housholds expect from the Digital EURO?

We look forward to discussing these and other elements with you and our expert panel, and generating an exciting exchange of ideas.

Networking facilitation
