Innovation and new technologies are financed with the support of the capital market. Financial institutions also rely on digitization to improve their services. In this panel discussion, in cooperation with Brutkasten, we focus on the latest technological developments and their potential areas of use. Among others, we will explore the following questions: What advantages do new technologies bring for investors? What value do cryptocurrencies represent – are they an "asset class" or an object of speculation? What role do the established players play and what pilot projects are currently underway?
