The future of Private Credit: The bumpy road from niche to mainstream

Private credit has grown from a niche into one of finance's most debated topics — but skepticism now risks overshadowing the broader picture.
This conference brings together leaders from banking, asset management, academia and regulation to cut through the hype: where can private credit in its many forms create sustainable value? How can it fund entrepreneurship and growth? And what guardrails are needed to ensure financial stability?
Join us for a nuanced discussion on the opportunities, risks and future role of private credit in Europe.
