Shaping the Future of Banking Through Technology, Architecture and Customer-Centric Innovation
Karl im Brahm, CEO Dach Region, Objectway
Helena Mayer, Account Manager, Objectway
At the Handelsblatt BankenTech conference leading decision-makers from banks and fintechs will explore how financial institutions can combine technological innovation, resilient architectures and customer value to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
As customer expectations continue to rise, banks must move beyond fast transactions and personalised interfaces. They need to deliver secure, seamless and context-aware services that create tangible value while supporting operational efficiency and sustainable growth.
The conference programme will examine how financial institutions can modernise their technology foundations, strengthen digital sovereignty and translate emerging technologies into scalable business outcomes.
Key topics will include modern and composable banking architectures, Agentic AI and autonomous systems, Open Finance, real-time data strategies, digital identity, payments, tokenisation, stablecoins and digital assets. The discussions will also address the importance of governance and change management in ensuring that transformation delivers lasting value for customers, employees and organisations.
Meet Objectway at BankenTech 2026
Objectway will be represented at the event by Karl im Brahm, CEO DACH Region, and Helena Mayer, Account Manager. Their participation will provide an opportunity to connect with the Objectway team and discuss how financial institutions can use technology, data and scalable digital capabilities to transform their operating models, enhance customer engagement and support long-term growth.
We look forward to meeting banking and fintech professionals in Frankfurt and exchanging perspectives on the technologies, strategies and partnerships shaping the next generation of financial services.
