The CB Interviews once again brought together leading speakers and figures. Their analyses brilliantly demonstrated how geopolitical tensions, economic and social instability, as well as technological, climate, and regulatory changes, have affected the payments sector in 2025 — just as they have so many other sectors in France.
The morning session, which was intentionally broad in scope, put the impact of these external dynamics into perspective, while the afternoon session provided a more detailed look at the specific challenges related to payments.
Speaking to an audience of more than a thousand attendees and the entire French tech ecosystem, experts and prominent figures shared valuable insights into the transformations currently under way and those yet to come.
