UNIVERSFINANCE 2026
This year, Universwiftnet becomes UniversFinance. We are once again delighted to take part, as an official sponsor, in the 22nd edition of UniversFinance, organized by AGEFI, which will take place on May 19 at the Palais Brongniart.
"Universfinance" reflects the new spheres to explore within the finance function, as well as the interconnections that shape it from treasurers to procurement directors, including cybersecurity professionals and trade finance managers.
This year, UniversFinance offers participants a structured journey across five key “galaxies” or themes: Payments, Risk Management, Supply Chain Finance, Liquidity Management, and Trade Finance.
The event will also provide an opportunity to address key topics such as:
the integration of artificial intelligence into finance governance
the growing importance of data and AI
the role of blockchain (a lasting comeback or not?)
the adoption of instant payments across Europe
and the evolution of trade finance in a shifting geopolitical landscape
At the same time, several questions remain open, including : how can fraud be prevented in an environment where artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent? how can treasury be optimized in the era of rapidly expanding blockchain technologies?
what are the benefits of factoring in managing working capital needs?
Meet our speaker during the plenary session and join our workshops to engage with our experts.
