The Future of DLT-based Capital Markets in Europe 💬 Last week, we had the pleasure to welcome many interested participants and great guest speakers to our event in Frankfurt. In their keynotes, our colleague Dr. Matthias Hirtschulz talked about how DLT can help create a more integrated European market and how current initiatives serve that goal, Jens Hachmeister from Deutsche Börse's Clearstream talked about how hybrid digital markets, both DLT- and non-DLT-based, are important to connect today's capital markets with those of tomorrow, and Max J. Heinzle from 21X explained what it is like to run the first licensed DLT TSS under the European Pilot Regime and how their platform can increase transparency and efficiency in trading and settlement. During a fireside chat, our colleague Dr. Marc Henniges and the two guest speakers then elaborated more deeply on challenges with instant or deferred settlement, data availability and standardization, and the future of capital markets. Afterwards, we enjoyed great discussions with our guests over food and drinks. Thank you all for coming and making the evening a wonderful experience! Thanks a lot also to the d-fine team contributing to the event: Dr. Lennard Epping, Dr. Marcus Hennig, Lara Johann, Dr. Simon Papenkort, Julia S. and Dominik Zehe. What are your thoughts on DLT-based capital markets? What should we discuss at our next event?

Our colleagues Florian Löber and Dr Moritz Kompenhans had the opportunity of attending the VDMA European Summit in Amsterdam, where the current state and future of the mechanical and plant engineering industry in Europe were at the center of discussions. 💡   Key topics included the current geopolitical challenges, the related restructuring of business operations, and pressure for digital and AI-driven innovations.   To keep pace, companies must adapt and restructure, requiring new skill sets and expertise within their workforce, which is hindered by the ongoing shortage of skilled professionals.   d-fine helps companies address these challenges by developing effective solutions: 👉 We help realign business processes by applying digital methods and implementing agile, resilient strategies to keep companies well-positioned in a rapidly changing market. 👉 We help businesses stay competitive by identifying and implementing cutting-edge AI use cases, particularly in the fast-evolving industrial AI sector. 👉 We leverage data-driven HR strategies to identify top talent, uncover skill gaps, and drive targeted recruitment efforts, building a competitive and future-ready workforce.   Many thanks to the VDMA for organizing such a great event and to Siemens, ASML, SKF Group, ENGEL, and others for their insightful presentations.   #dfine #dfineImpact #VDMA #Machinery #IndustrialAI #VDMASummit #Transformation #Innovation #Manufacturing #EU

BaFin's New Guidelines: Is Your Adverse Media Screening Ready? With BaFin’s updated guidelines (“AuAs”), adverse media screening (AMS) is becoming essential for financial institutions. Detecting ML/TF risks through AMS requires a smart, efficient approach to achieve appropriate precision while reducing false positives. Best practices include: 1️⃣   AI-driven screening tools to filter out irrelevant hits and support human analysts 2️⃣  Context-aware analysis to distinguish between significant risks and outdated/unverified news 3️⃣   Integration with monitoring systems and customer risk ratings for a holistic risk view Regulatory scrutiny is tightening. Ensuring your AMS is compliant, effective, and efficient will be a crucial pillar of a robust AML/CTF framework. #dfine #dfineImpact #dfineInternational #AML #BaFin #AuAs #AFC
