Building the Green Fintech Ecosystem: Insights from Switzerland and Beyond

December 2024 

The Swiss Green Fintech Network, which brings together incumbent financial and accounting institutions,

academia and Switzerland's exchange SIX, has seen a productive year since its inception at the Point Zero Forum (PZF) 2023.

At PZF 2024, members of the network gathered once more to take stock. Beyond shedding light on the initiatives that have arose in the past year, this report dives into three key insights highlighted by members that will chart its course forward:

1. A dynamic regulatory environment and growing reporting demands are priming the landscape for the rise of green fintechs.
2. With reporting becoming compulsory and increasingly granular, the cooperation of GFN with the regulator is vital.
3. Switzerland is observing a shift towards a broader application of distributed ledger technology, with possible applications for greening the financial system.
