    Description:

    The financial system is currently being transformed by digitization and sustainability. However, existing knowledge on the topic of Sustainable Digital Finance, which bridges both areas, is still rare and a more comprehensive understanding of the domain, including governance and policy questions is a missing component. The Stanford Global Center for Sustainable Digital Finance addresses these topics and provides a global multi-stakeholder platform.

    Expected Outcomes

    - A community of experts on this topic
    - A summary publication
    - Follow-up workshops

    Hybrid Format: - a success factor for hybrid roundtables is an excellent preparation of introductory speeches for 2-3- clearly defined topics and commenting speakers, followed by a discussion.
    - another success factor is excellent technical equipment.
    - Zoom is an excellent platform for organizing such an event.
