Workshop: Supervisors on Supervision

This workshop will explore “Supervisors on Supervision,” Starling’s latest Deeper Dive report. The study represents a unique global stocktake, drawing on perspectives from senior figures across jurisdictions, and asks: is culture rightly viewed as a matter for supervisors, what consequences follow from the current status quo, what efforts have been made to confront these challenges, and what future direction does this suggest?

The report finds that supervisors view culture not as a peripheral concern, but as an upstream condition of prudential resilience and supervisory legitimacy. It highlights the risks of definitional drift, fragmented approaches, perceptions of supervisory over-reach — as well as supervisory timidity, somewhat paradoxically — and it underscores the need for structured discretion, shared vocabulary, and coherent frameworks. The report discusses how supervisory technologies and innovative methods can provide more consistent and evidence-based approaches to culture risk governance and supervision. And it emphasizes the role of supervisory culture in encouraging innovation and the adoption of new tools.

The workshop will provide space to engage these findings, debate future directions, and consider how to move culture risk governance and supervision from conviction to convergence.

Roundtable: AI Governance & Safe AI in Europe

This roundtable examines the implementation of emerging AI regulatory frameworks—such as the EU AI Act—within financial services. The session will gather legal, technological, and innovation experts to explore practical applications of AI governance. We will address: (a) legal perspectives, mapping regulatory obligations to practical and organisational context, despite the lack of a coherent taxonomy; (b) technical perspectives, translating operational risk metrics into instruments for compliance and supervisory oversight; and (c) organisational perspective, particularly the role of AI sandboxes and cross-sector collaboration in fostering safe environments for innovation and regulation.

Scaling Suptech Capabilities Approaches Through Open Banking And Open Finance Ecosystems

Open banking and open finance are unlocking new data streams for supervisors. This session explores how agencies are leveraging these ecosystems to build smarter tools, improve risk analysis, and enhance market oversight at a newly unlocked scale.

9:30 - 10:00 AM EST

Scaling Suptech Capabilities Through Clouds

Cloud infrastructure is reshaping how supervisors build and scale digital tools, offering speed, flexibility, and access to advanced analytics. Yet adoption remains mixed: while some agencies pursue cloud-first strategies, others remain cautious due to security, sovereignty, and compliance concerns. This session examines the shifting business case for clouds, weighing its benefits and risks for supervisory authorities.

10:00 - 10:30 AM EST

Scaling Suptech Capabilities through Agentic AI

Agentic AI systems — autonomous AI “agents” capable of taking actions and making decisions — are generating intense buzz, but also serious concerns. This session cuts through the hype to explore the real opportunities and real risks for supervisors: from how these models could automate complex supervisory tasks, to the privacy, security, and accountability challenges they pose. Participants will leave with a clearer sense of what’s possible, what’s premature, and what guardrails are needed before deploying agentic AI in supervision.

Scaling Suptech Capabilities Through Sharing Code

Supervisory authorities are increasingly experimenting with shared or open-source approaches to building digital tools. This session explores how sharing code can accelerate innovation, reduce duplication of effort, and foster collaboration across jurisdictions, while also tackling the challenges around governance, licensing, support, and cybersecurity. Through real examples and discussion, participants will assess when shared code makes sense, how to manage its risks, and what models could support a thriving collaborative suptech ecosystem.
