    The Future Of Loyalty: Why Client Retention Matters More Than Ever In The Age Of AI

    As artificial intelligence, automation, and digital platforms reshape our lives, one commercial and human question becomes increasingly important: what will make clients stay when machines can compare, recommend, negotiate, and switch on their behalf? This webinar will explore the future of loyalty in a market where machines can process information, identify alternatives, and personalise offers at a scale no human relationship manager can match. If products, prices, and promises become easier to compare, then trust, memory, reputation, emotional relevance, and accumulated relationship value may become even more important. Vladislav Dobrokhotov, author of The G.R.E.A.T. Retention Book, will examine why client retention should be treated not as a back-office metric, but as a strategic discipline for the AI age. The discussion will consider how financial and professional services firms can make loyalty more visible, intentional, and defensible not only to human clients but also to the intelligent systems that increasingly shape their decisions. The session is especially relevant for firms where trust, confidence, judgment, reputation, and long-term relationships remain central to growth. It will invite participants to think beyond acquisition, beyond account management, and beyond conventional customer experience towards a future where the real competitive advantage may belong to the organisation's clients, and their machines, still choose to stay with.

    The Next Frontier For Responsible Investment: Putting Health On The Investor Agenda

    Population health is rapidly emerging as a financially material issue for institutional investors, yet it remains significantly underdeveloped compared to climate change and diversity, equity and inclusion in mainstream investment practice. This session presents findings from Investor Action on Health: A Review (Northeastern University / Health Foundation, February 2026), a systematic review of how asset owners and asset managers can use corporate engagement, ESG ratings, board oversight, and policy engagement to influence company behaviour across 15 priority health issues - from worker safety and nutrition to antimicrobial resistance and digital wellbeing. Drawing on lessons from the evolution of investor action on climate and EDI, the talk introduces a practical framework for matching investor action mechanisms to the maturity of specific health issues and discusses the challenges and opportunities investors face in demonstrating financial materiality and attributing impact. This session will be of interest to finance and investment professionals, policymakers, and anyone keen to understand how the investment community can be a force for better public health. Speaker:

    From Carbon Management To Carbon Market Mechanisms

    Taiwan is strategically enhancing its international visibility by evolving from fundamental Carbon Management to the development of robust Carbon Market Mechanisms. As a critical node in the global supply chain, Taiwan is leveraging its industrial strengths to build a carbon ecosystem that emphasizes market transparency and alignment with international standards. Central to this effort is the integration of real-world corporate decarbonization experience with advanced financial oversight, creating a high-integrity environment for carbon credit trading. These initiatives aim to expand Taiwan’s sustainable finance capacity and investor base while boosting its regional competitiveness in the global net-zero transition. The success of this transition relies on a multi-dimensional approach that bridges the gap between policy and practice. At the foundational level, Taiwan’s leading enterprises are providing vital insights into decarbonization, transforming operational excellence into measurable carbon assets. Simultaneously, professional financial frameworks are being implemented to address the complexities of risk management within carbon trading, ensuring that market participants can navigate price volatility and regulatory shifts with confidence. This collaborative model ensures that the market remains responsive to industry needs while fostering a resilient ecosystem for green capital.

    Launch Of Smart Centres Index 13

    In this webinar, we launch the thirteenth edition of the Smart Centres Index (SCI 13). The SCI is designed to track the development of technology and financial centres across the world in their support for and readiness for new technology applications.Investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, media, academics, governments, and regulators can attune their cities to attract innovation and growth in Science, Technology, Energy Systems, Machine Learning, Distributed Ledgers, or Fintech. Tuning a city for innovation is complex. Z/Yen began studying successful and unsuccessful business innovation clustering some 15 years ago, and published in 2018 the Smart Jurisdictions Index. Building on the results of that research we have created a novel factor assessment index based on three dimensions - innovation support, creative intensity, and delivery capability.The SCI is designed to track the readiness of business centres across the world to support new technology businesses. The SCI uses assessments from private and public sector individuals, along with over 120 instrumental factors, to rate the centres. This important project that will grow substantially as more people pay attention to the ways centres can help globally innovative businesses thrive in rapidly changing times.
