What’s Next in Banking, What’s Possible for Banks
We are proud to announce the 8th edition of the Banktech, taking place on October 16–17, 2025, in Athens, Greece. This year’s theme "What’s Next in Banking, What’s Possible for Banks", sets the stage for an exclusive dialogue among the region’s most influential leaders on growth, trust, and resilience in a time of disruption—to shape what comes next.
And because banking is inseparable from payments, this year’s conference will once again dedicate its second day, 17 October, to the Retail Payments Summit entitled “The Gateway to Innovation in Retail Payments & Acceptance Services”—a testament to our commitment to fostering dialogue and collaboration across the entire payments acceptance ecosystem. The summit is powered by Ingenico, the global leader in payment acceptance and services, and a valued strategic partner.
By 2035, banking will evolve into an invisible yet omnipresent force—deeply connected, powered by insights, and driven by purpose. Banks are shifting from "why we can't do this" to "how might we do it" to build their future by leveraging the best of their past. From invisible banking and ecosystem finance to AI-driven innovation, regulatory transformation, and purpose-led leadership, the agenda addresses the core dilemmas facing today’s decision makers: how to drive profitable growth, fortify resilience, and sustain customer trust.
With more than 400 senior executives across banking, retail, telecoms, government, utilities, and technology, Banktech 2025 will offer an unparalleled forum for strategic discussions, knowledge sharing, and executive networking.
