Events
The Association of Banks in Hesse has completely revamped its traditional executive colloquium - which has existed for 65 years - and presented it with a new look from 30 September - 1 October 2021 at the Design Offices Frankfurt am Main. The aim of the new exclusive event series is on the one hand to give executives of the private banking industry the opportunity to expand and deepen their professional and leadership knowledge and at the same time to offer an excellent networking format. In terms of content, the focus is on topics relevant to the financial centre.
The kick-off event on 'Sustainable Finance' started with an exciting workshop by the experienced environmental expert Dr. Ralf Utermöhlen on 'How sustainability and climate neutrality can succeed - and why financial markets play a key role in this'.
The next day, more interesting discussions followed in workshops with Dr Andreas Wagner (Sustainable Finance Lead Commercial Banking, UniCredit) on the topic of 'Sustainable Finance: Relationship between customer and bank' and Tatjana Gravenstein (Expert Sustainability, ING-DiBa AG) on the topic of 'Sustainable Finance using the example of ING'.
Germany as a financial center: What framework does an internationally competitive financial center need?
The new "Bankendialog" series on Germany as a financial center kicked off on July 15, 2021 with a panel discussion on the question of what framework conditions an internationally competitive financial center needs.
Everyone agreed that Germany needs a strong, international and competitive financial center. We discussed what is needed to achieve this with Bettina Orlopp, Wolfgang Fink, Sabine Mauderer, Philipp Nimmermann, Bettina Stark-Watzinger and Eva Wimmer. Our panelists already have very specific ideas on what investments are needed, who we need to win over, but also what strengths already exist. For more information and a recording of the live stream, please visit Strengthening Germany as a Financial Center.
This series, a cooperation of the Association of German Banks and the Hesse Banking Association, will shed light on further aspects of financial market policy in the coming months.

Between Lockdown and Vaccine - what´s next for the economy?
The Association of Banks in Hesse - in cooperation with the Banking Academy - invites you to the digital event "Between Lockdown and Vaccine - what´s next for the economy?" - on Thursday, 26 November 2020, from 5 p.m. - 6 p.m.
The corona pandemic poses enormous health, social and economic challenges for our society. The package of measures of the recent partial lockdown, the so-called "lockdown light", has further clouded the prospects for a straight economic recovery. However, there are significant differences from the first lockdown in spring, as supply chains continue to function and shops, schools and kindergartens remain open. Nevertheless, some sectors are extremely affected by the measures, and it remains unclear when and at what pace the infection situation will allow a sustained easing of restrictions.
The digitaldialog deals with:
- What impact the corona pandemic will have on the economy and what role banks will play in overcoming the crisis.
- How are companies and banks prepared for the second lockdown?
- What measures are needed now to further support the economy?
Is additional relief for banks necessary to ensure that they can continue to provide financing to the economy?
The panel discussion will also focus on the Hessian economy and Frankfurt as a financial centre.
We would be pleased if you register HERE for our digitaldialog. During the discussion, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions to the panelists via chat.
