11th Swiss Payment Forum: Our Future in the Metaverse
A great future is predicted for the metaverse: Gartner forecasts that 25% of all people will spend at least one hour per day in the metaverse as early as 2026. This is an exciting topic for the payment industry, which will also be addressed at the Swiss Payment Forum in Zurich on November 21 and 22.
The metaverse is predicted to have a great future: Gartner predicts that 25% of all people will spend at least one hour per day in the metaverse as early as 2026. The financial service Bloomberg estimates that the metaverse will have a market size of 800 billion US dollars in 2024, half of which will flow into the gaming market. Whether the development will be so positive also depends on whether payment processes run smoothly there, access to payment solutions in the Metaverse is seamless, and perhaps even traditional means of payment can be accepted.
This is an exciting topic for the payment industry, and one that the Swiss Payment Forum in Zurich on November 21 and 22 will also address. Here, current payment topics such as instant payment, DeFi, SWIFT and crypto transactions, Secure Swiss Finance Network and the development of the Metaverse will be discussed. A very special highlight is the keynote by futurologist Lars Thomsen. In his presentation, he will talk about the seven most important megatrends of the coming decade and about incremental and disruptive innovations.
For over 10 years, the Swiss Payment Forum has established itself as an industry meeting place. As the central information and discussion event for the financial services industry in Switzerland, it offers excellent opportunities to learn from the high-caliber presentations and make valuable contacts.
The organizer is Vereon AG, based in Kreuzlingen. In addition to the Swiss Payment Forum, the company organizes other top-class meetings, conferences and workshops on current topics from business and science. Proven experts from research, science, practice and politics present pragmatic solutions and groundbreaking trends.
