Objectives of the session

The payment area in the EU is evolving fast. The data invasive economy is further accelerated by AI and cloud computing. These evolutions are accompanied with new types of (cyber) risks. One should in addition stress the global and even supra national nature of all these trends.

The session is dedicated to propose a consistent description of such trends and related challenges in order to work out what should be a consistent agenda for both private and public players and payment infrastructures, to both address emerging risks and threats and further enable the progress expected by EU citizens.

Points of discussion
