Registration is now open for NextGen Nordics 2026, the region’s premier banking and payments event.
On April 28, 2026, leaders from top banks, central banks, regulators, fintech firms, and technology vendors will convene at Münchenbryggeriet in Stockholm to shape the future of financial systems.
For nine years, NextGen Nordics has served as the essential gathering for C-suite executives, senior strategists, and technology leaders.
In 2025, the event emphasized Finextra’s survey on Nordic payment priorities, a key focus that will continue into next year. Findings revealed that 32% of organizations prioritize accelerating technology adoption, closely followed by enhancing customer experience. These insights will guide discussions on innovation, compliance, and resilience, as we prepare the 2026 agenda.
The upcoming event will shift its focus beyond scaling innovation to Architecting the Future of Money, aiming to actively design systems that will influence the financial landscape for years to come.
Topics will include programmable payments, AI-driven customer experiences, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and quantum resilience. The full agenda promises to provide crucial insights for formulating your 2026/2027 roadmap.
The full-day program features strategic content alongside extensive networking opportunities during breakfast, lunch, and the exclusive annual drinks reception. Attendees will gain access to exclusive Nordic payment research and hear from over 30 expert speakers discussing vital themes such as digital identity, payment security, synthetic data, global regulation, and infrastructure modernization.
Sessions will address urgent topics such as securing payments in an era of fraud, preparing for quantum threats, and designing experiences that center around people rather than just transactions. Join us in Stockholm on April 28, 2026 and engage in the discussion that will shape the future of money.
