Regulation and Innovation - Finding the Golden Mix!

This thought-provoking SEC Spring Event brings together regulatory and economic perspectives on one of today’s most pressing questions: how to strike the right balance between innovation and regulation in a highly globalised world.

In her keynote, Prof. Dr. Marlene Amstad, Chair of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), will provide insights into how one of the world’s most sophisticated financial markets is regulated. She will outline what modern, risk-based regulation means in practice and how supervisory frameworks aim to ensure stability, trust and resilience while remaining open to innovation.

Dr. Jürg Müller, Director of Avenir Suisse, the leading think tank of the Swiss economy, will then offer an economic and societal perspective on how regulation and innovation should interact to support long-term competitiveness and progress.

The event will conclude with a joint discussion exploring what the “golden mix” of regulation and innovation should look like in the context of financial markets – and beyond.
