Innovations—from artificial intelligence to digital assets—are beginning to reshape how capital is allocated, payments are made, and risks propagate through markets.

The SIEPR Spring Policy Forum brings together leading academics, industry practitioners, and policymakers to examine where these changes create opportunity and where they could amplify fragility.

Through keynotes and panels, we will identify the key transmission channels to watch and the practical steps that firms and regulators can take now to strengthen resilience while supporting innovation.
