This online event will present the eBook, which covers key topics discussed during the third academic year of the EU Supervisory Digital Finance Academy (EU-SDFA).

We invite you to join the online presentation of "EU competitiveness and the innovation-finance nexus," the third e-book produced by the EU Supervisory Digital Finance Academy (EU-SDFA).

This e-book, concluding the first edition of the EU-SDFA (launched in 2022 by the European Commission and funded by the European Union via the Technical Support Instrument TSI), examines how the EU can build a more integrated, dynamic, and risk-bearing financial system while preserving stability and investor protection.

The session will open with an introduction to the e-book, outlining its main themes and contributions on the relationship between competitiveness and the innovation–finance nexus. It will then turn to European digital finance markets, with a focus on venture capital dynamics and the evolving regulatory perspective. The discussion will conclude with an examination of European capital markets as enablers of innovation, addressing issues of growth, integration, and technological transitions.

The event is open to all those interested in the interaction between digital finance, innovation, and supervision.

A Q&A session will follow.

The EU Supervisory Digital Finance Academy (EU-SDFA) is a technical support project launched by the European Commission in October 2022, in cooperation with the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) and the Florence School of Banking and Finance (Robert Schuman Centre, European University Institute). 

It aims at supporting financial supervisory authorities in coping with the risks and opportunities associated to the use of advanced technologies in the financial sector. The EU-SDFA encompasses comprehensive training cycles and workshops enabling the acquisition of new expertise and skills, knowledge sharing, and peer-to-peer exchanges within the financial supervisory community.
