MSCA Network Event - RB Event 2024: "AI in Financial Markets Research Forum"

Together with academic representatives from WU Vienna, Raiffeisen Research (part of RBI - Raiffeisen Bank International) has organized the ESG Data Analytics Forum annually since 2021 (last year's program can be found at https://dsf.academy/conference/).

This year the focus will be on everything AI. The first AI in Financial Markets Research Forum primarily serves as a knowledge exchange platform between industry representatives from finance and academia in the field of AI, Digital and also Sustainable Finance with a focus on generative AI models.

Organizers The event is organized by Raiffeisen Research (https://www.raiffeisenresearch.com/) - a leading research boutique focused on CEE, Austria and the Euro area offering local market expertise plus contact to well-established experts on the ground in the region with a growing ESG-Focus.

Date and Location 2024 This year the event will take place on Tuesday, November 12th 2024 in Sky 1 of RBI Head Office, Am Stadtpark 9, Vienna. The forum will be opened at 9:30am (tbc) and closed at 5pm latest (depending on speaker line up). After the event RBI is sponsoring a get-together to allow for personal networking.

Audience The audience of the event will be mixed, from academics to professionals from banking and finance, from start-ups to large universal banks. The event type is hybrid, i.e, we aim for an on-site presence of 40-50 participants but since one of the main sponsors is also RBI itself, the event will also be available as a live stream in the whole RBI Group, i.e., also within our Network Banks.

Verbundunternehmen and Raiffeisen Sektor Austria as well as to all institutional clients of Raiffeisen Research. In 2023, around 270 people watched the stream online.
