By joining forces with the Central Bank and FCEA, P2PFISY aims to tackle regional priorities, build local expertise, and make sure the voices of emerging economies are heard in global conversations on peer-to-peer finance.
Founded in 2015 at the Deutsche Bundesbank by Prof. Paolo Tasca, Executive Chairman of Exponential Science, P2PFISY is a global platform dedicated to advancing financial research and innovation.

The workshop invites papers from academics, policymakers, industry professionals, and institutions, welcoming policy-oriented, theoretical, and empirical contributions. This year, submissions are particularly encouraged on the evolving role of emerging technologies in financial systems.

Together, they will explore how peer-to-peer finance intersects with policy, academic research, and digital public infrastructure.
