The financial services industry is entering a new era.

As cyber threats intensify, regulatory demands increase and customer expectations continue to rise, banks and insurers face a critical challenge: how do you stay innovative while remaining resilient?

This breakfast session brings together leaders from the Nordic and Ukrainian banking sectors to explore how financial institutions can strengthen operational resilience, accelerate digital transformation and prepare for an increasingly uncertain environment.

While Nordic banks are recognised as global leaders in digital banking, payments and financial innovation, Ukraine's banking sector offers a unique perspective on operating, adapting and innovating under extraordinary circumstances.

Together, these experiences provide valuable lessons for organisations seeking to build stronger, more adaptable financial services.

Designed for decision-makers in banking, insurance, fintech and financial services, the discussion will explore:

• How to balance innovation, security and operational resilience
• What resilience means in practice for modern financial institutions
• How regulatory requirements such as DORA are reshaping priorities across the industry
• How organisations can maintain critical services during disruption
• Why resilience is becoming a competitive advantage, not just a compliance requirement

Expect practical insights, real-world experiences and an open discussion on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of financial services.

As part of Oslo Innovation Week 2026, this session highlights how organisations can turn resilience into a foundation for innovation, growth and long-term competitiveness.
