The "Intercultural Intelligence Conference" is dedicated to exploring how cultural awareness, communication, and collaboration can strengthen research, innovation, and global careers. This conference will bring together experts Kristina Berkut, Ghislaine Tamisier, and Gian Maria Greco to share insights, real-world experiences, and practical strategies for navigating multicultural environments and building inclusive, high-performing teams. The conference will be followed by a networking aperitif to foster connections among participants. The event is co-organised by the MCAA France and Switzerland Chapters and the Cité Universitaire de Paris, which will host the conference at the Maison de l'Ile-de-France.

We held a chapter meeting to inform members about MCAA activities, to plan new activities, and to hear member suggestions.
We thank everyone for their contributions and interest in chapter activities (including those who wrote to explain they couldn't attend).

As we stand on the brink of a new technological revolution, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and digital platforms are fundamentally reshaping the mechanics of financial systems and corporate innovation. This event explores how FinTech—spearheaded by Large Language Models (LLMs) and intelligent algorithms—is transcending its role as a mere tool to become a transformative force. We will examine how these technologies are enhancing decision support and processing efficiency while simultaneously restructuring corporate risk appetite, innovation incentives, and the logic of capital allocation. Join us to unpack the future of finance, where algorithms and data redefine the boundaries of strategy and economic growth.
