In this year of heightened attention to a global context that is both so connected and so fragile, all banking and financial professionals are wondering about the future: What happens when the new frontiers of innovation and artificial intelligence redefine the boundaries of organizations and consumer relationships? What are the key words to know in the new map of the future that depicts a changing world? And how can we play a leading role in this game in which nothing is taken for granted? From 2025 to 2100. A quantum leap into the future. The question is clear and the answer is difficult to provide: how will the profile of the new professional working in the banking and financial sector be shaped in the future, amid advanced technologies, constant relationships with clients, and a constant flow of news from around the world hitting their desks, redefining their identities, tools, roles, and objectives?

Il Salone dei Pagamenti's Agora del Futuro takes a leap forward to draw up a profile of the banker seventy-five years from now, that distant yet iconic year of 2100. The goal: to draft a Manifesto of Generative Talents, consisting of 10 points that redefine the new professional profile of those working in banking and finance. A journey to define a profession that has become rapidly evolving and in constant contact with startups, scaleups, innovative SMEs, fintechs, spinoffs, and corporations. A mosaic of testimonials to decode the future. Together with the Il Salone dei Pagamenti and StartupItalia communities, discover the profile of the new banker, balancing human and technological capital. Because it's time to uncover generative talent.
