With unbroken momentum and a growing interest and attendance, we are making Sustainable World 2026 - The conference for the companies of the future a tradition. The event is now also an industry gathering, bringing together representatives from different sectors to discuss ways to achieve sustainability goals and tangible results. The unquestionable importance of sustainability efforts and solutions, and their critical role in the economy, was the subject of curious looks at the first Sustainable World conference 7 years ago, but now it is undoubtedly an integral part of business life and corporate strategies. The business world is being forced to constantly adapt and innovate by challenges such as changes in the regulatory environment, geopolitical tensions, transition and physical climate risks, and changing consumer and investor demands. Rapid reaction, adaptation and flexibility are key words that companies have had to experience from several angles. The maturity of the domestic market is demonstrated by the growing number of players who are already seeing the benefits of being at the forefront of sustainability and looking to the future with a solid foundation. The event has become a primary forum and meeting place for green industry players, those who are shaping the green economy with a strategic vision and commitment. The Sustainable World conference will address the most topical issues by industry, the issues that are currently driving the economic players in ESG, green finance and sustainability.  Unmissable topics at the conference include the green economy, ESG - both regulatory, reporting and strategic, green finance, financial sector expectations, forward-looking investment decisions, the latest developments in the green energy market, energy efficiency and sustainable business practices.  This was our Sustainable World 2025 conference:

AI has burst into banks, fintechs have grown up and attacked banks, regulators are throwing IT tasks around, fraudsters are on the attack while the constant pressure to innovate and the race for efficiency is weighing on banks' shoulders. How will the AI boom revolutionize everyday banking, lending and investing, what will be the next big boom, where will AI agents help? Qvik is spreading, but how far will it go? How can digital UX continue to improve? Top bank executives, IT decision makers, top consultants, fintech gurus and key banking IT suppliers discuss the hottest banking IT and fintech trends.

In the new era of energy- and data-intensive economy, energy and digital maturity are converging. Artificial intelligence is not magic, but the highest level of exploitation of past patterns: it offers dynamic, forward-looking systems instead of static, ex-post accounts - operations based on bits fundamentally rewrite the notion of corporate competitiveness. In addition, artificial intelligence and data-driven decision making is no longer a pilot project or a presentation, but a daily reality. Therefore, the focus of our conference will be on how data and energy become a concrete business resource: how to turn corporate data assets into measurable financial results, how to integrate algorithms into daily decisions, and where to draw the line between investments that provide a real competitive advantage and expensive but low-return developments. Through concrete examples, business dilemmas and decision situations, we will show how the logic of corporate operations is being transformed in an era where data is increasingly becoming a strategic ingredient. The stakes are high and the market is not waiting. Companies that can quickly integrate it into their operations will gain a lasting business advantage. Conversely, those that play the waiting game and delay technological adaptation risk being at an irrecoverable disadvantage in the short term.
