The Point Zero Forum is an annual gathering of 2,000 leading central bankers, regulators, policymakers, industry leaders, technologists, and investors from around the world. Over three days of dialogue and collaboration, we work to align policy, finance, and technological roadmaps to advance sustainability, inclusivity, innovation, and efficiency in the global financial ecosystems.

topic_1

The Point Zero Forum was designed for financial institutions to remain vigilant and adaptable in a world characterized by geopolitical complexities and rapid technological innovations.

topic_2

The strong community of central bankers, policymakers, industry leaders in finance and technology, investors, innovators, and founders will convene in Zurich in 2025 for the fourth time. This gathering offers a unique opportunity to build resilience and position oneself for success in an unpredictable future.

By embracing change and developing agile strategies, the financial industry can turn challenges into opportunities. Maintaining long-term value visions during times of volatility requires the ability to quickly respond to geopolitical shifts, regulatory changes, and technological advancements.

Unlike other events, the Point Zero Forum focuses on fostering dialogue among global leaders across various sectors. The Forum enables participants to connect, forge new partnerships, and shape the future of the industry. Seize the opportunity to position yourself at the forefront and leave followers behind.
