Fintech Lab co-organises an event on the future of digital payments
Milan is going to be the core of the international debate on the evolution of payment systems and digital financial markets: on September 25 and 26, 2025, Bocconi University will host the conference "The Future of Payments-CBDC, Digital Assets and Digital Capital Markets", co-organized with the European Central Bank (ECB), CEPR and Review of Finance.
"The digitization of money and markets poses unprecedented challenges that require sound theoretical and empirical understanding to guide regulatory decisions," explains Elena Carletti, Dean for Research at Bocconi and Director of the CEPR Banking and Corporate Finance Program. "This is why we promote a dialogue between academia and institutions, aimed at developing useful and rigorous knowledge."
"The initiative aims to foster cutting-edge research exploring the economic, regulatory and strategic implications of digital currencies, decentralized infrastructures and new market models," stresses Claudio Tebaldi (in photo), director of Bocconi's Baffi Fintech Lab.
The research unit is also among the almost 70 market partcipants who have been selected to collaborate with the ECB to explore digital euro payment functionalities and use cases.
