Bird & Bird LLP has been a partner of our Innovation ecosystem. The focus on new and disruptive technologies creates an ideal partnership for digitalization in Germany. In the coming year, we want to work together on innovation in the financial sector, addressing topics such as fintech, distributed ledger technology and the digitalization of the capital market. Bird & Bird's strong regulatory practice provides the legal expertise for the companies of the telco effect in a field with constantly new regulatory requirements.
With our workbench32, we provide an agile environment, space for exchange and networking, growth opportunities and support for start-ups entering the market.
Our connections to the digital pioneer country Estonia help with this, thanks to the (D)e-Estonia showroom in the middle of Werkbank32. This is where we learn from each other and live European integration.
In addition, TeleskopEffekt accompanies market developments with industry-specific events that provide in-depth content and enable further networking. The first Bank Innovativ Day on July 13 and 14, 2021 offers the opportunity to gain impulses in the banking and financial environment and to get in touch and discuss with like-minded people during the event. At the same time, there will be exciting insights into the innovation ecosystem around Werkbank32 and its partners. Bird & Bird will also be present at the Bank Innovative Day present. Jörg-Alexander Paul and Michael Jünemann will talk about the reform of German financial supervision and its impact on the fintech sector.
Your contact at Bird & Bird is our Frankfurt partner Dr. Michael Jünemann, co-head of the international finance and financial regulation practice group.
