What topics can you expect to see this year under the heading ‘Enabling the transition with asset-based finance’? Policymakers and business leaders broadly agree that the transformation is not only right and important but also involves considerable investment. Leading figures from politics, central banks and supervisory authorities in Germany and Europe unanimously emphasise the crucial role that the European Capital Markets Union should play in financing this process. There is also a clear commitment to strengthening asset-based finance and securitisation in particular. This is obvious, as around 80% of corporate financing in Europe is still provided by banks. In this regard, securitisations are proving to be an ideal instrument for effectively linking bank-based corporate financing with the capital markets. Despite this political agreement, concrete measures are now needed, as little has happened so far.
With a view to the upcoming EU parliamentary elections in June 2024 and the political agenda to be formed for the new legislature in Brussels, the public debate is gaining momentum. The political course for a market organisation that ensures fair competition between the various financial instruments and thus enables asset-based finance to contribute to financing the digital and sustainable transformation should be carefully considered.
We will focus intensively on analysing and discussing the following topics in detail at the TSI Congress 2024:
- Geopolitics and the
macroeconomic environment - Current developments in the financial markets
in Germany and Europe - Performance and developments of
individual asset classes - Regulatory
challenges
We can rely on the market's ability to work with appropriate regulation that enables a harmonious interplay between sustainability, growth and financial market stability. This will be crucial for a successful economic transformation in the coming decades. The TSI Congress is therefore dedicated to the central topic of promoting change through asset-based finance.

Supporting programme
In addition to the purely professional exchange, networking is of course very important during these times. TSI offers all participants of the TSI Congress 2024 an extensive supporting programme.
This year, too, we will start with our pre-congress event at KfW on 9 October.
Immediately following our last panel on the first day of the congress, there will be a networking reception with drinks and finger food, which we cordially invite all guests to attend to review the congress day and share ideas with other participants.
This year, we are also bringing our new TSI Youngsters event series to Berlin for the first time. Parallel to our wine evening (‘by invitation only’), we invite all ‘youngsters’ to strengthen their network and exchange ideas with other young talents.
Afterwards, we again look forward to our popular chill-out and get-together, which this year will take place in our large event area.
To round off the second day of the congress, there will once again be a supporting programme outside the hotel in Berlin.
Some parts of the supporting programme require registration. All participants will receive separate invitations with registration options before the event.
KfW Reception
KfW continues the tradition of inviting delegates to a reception at its Berlin branch on the evening preceding the Congress. The exclusive setting gives you the opportunity to hold informal initial discussions with other Congress participants.

Weinabend
BAD BANKS, the TV series
How do the series makers approach the world of finance?
Talk with producer Dr Lisa Blumenberg about the worlds of filmmakers and distributors
An unserem Weinabend möchten wir Sie auf eine faszinierende Reise in die Welt des Fernsehens einladen. Im Mittelpunkt des Abends steht die mehrfach preisgekrönte TV-Serie "BAD BANKS", in der es um die skrupellose Welt der Investmentbanken geht, in der eine junge Bankerin in ein Netz aus Machtspielen, Korruption und Verrat verwickelt wird.
Wir freuen uns ganz besonders, Dr. Lisa Blumenberg, die Initiatorin und Produzentin der Serie, bei unserem Weinabend begrüßen zu dürfen. Im Gespräch mit Dr. Michael Weller, einem langjährigen Experten im Verbriefungsmarkt, wird sie uns einen einzigartigen Einblick hinter die Kulissen der Produktion gewähren. Dabei wird sie erläutern, wie es den Serienmachern gelungen ist, die komplexe Finanzwelt sowohl authentisch als auch spannend darzustellen.
Von der Finanzkrise zur Erfolgsserie:
Inspiriert von den Ereignissen der Finanzkrise 2008 zeigt "BAD BANKS" auf beeindruckende Weise, wie die realen Praktiken und Dynamiken des Finanzsektors in die Dramaturgie der Serie eingeflossen sind. Dr. Blumenberg wird über die Herausforderungen sprechen, denen sich die Produktion gegenübersah, sowie über die notwendige Zusammenarbeit zwischen Kreativen und Finanzexperten, um eine solch authentische und zugleich unterhaltsame Serie zu schaffen.
Wir freuen uns auf einen anregenden Abend, begleitet von erlesenen Weinen und feinem Käse in einer angenehmen Atmosphäre. Seien Sie gespannt auf spannende Geschichten aus der Produktion, interessante Hintergrundinformationen und die Möglichkeit, Ihre Fragen direkt an Dr. Lisa Blumenberg zu stellen.

Bunkers, Subways and Cold War
This tour explores Cold War remnants in West Berlin's underground. Some shelters, designed as "multi-purpose structures," now serve as underground stations, parking garages, and storage facilities. By showcasing these preparations, the tour aims to convey the realities and horrors of potential conflict.
First, we visit the "Blochplatz" civil defense shelter, originally a WWII air-raid shelter renovated in the 1980s to accommodate 1,318 people for up to 48 hours. Then, after a short U-Bahn ride to Pankstrasse station, we explore a "modern" bunker from 1977, designed to shelter 3,339 people for up to two weeks and currently functioning as a U-Bahn stop. This gives insight into what life might have been like during a nuclear war.
Meeting point hotel lobby. Booking required, maximum 25 participants.

Guided tour of PERGAMON. Masterpieces of the ancient metropolis and 360° panorama by Yadegar Asisi
The panorama takes visitors back to the year 129 AD and shows the ancient city of Pergamon on the west coast of Asia Minor. Yadegar Asisi reconstructs the state of the city in the High Roman Imperial Period under the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD). The image content of the first Pergamon Panorama has been extensively revised. In collaboration with the team at the Collection of Classical Antiquities, around 40 new scenes were designed and added to the image. For this purpose, an elaborate photo shoot took place in a Berlin film studio in October 2017.
Meeting point hotel lobby. Registration required, maximum 20 participants.

Guided tour through Futurium
Futurium is a lively place that stands for open exchange and the exploration of possible futures.
As a house of futures, Futurium seeks answers to the question "How do we want to live?" It presents different concepts for the future – from the fields of science, politics, business, culture and civil society – and highlights their potential impact. Futurium is international, networked and independent.
The future options in the exhibitions are designed to be interactive, controversial discussions take place in the forum, and trying things out is at the heart of the laboratory. As a place of education and science communication, the Futurium conveys scientific findings and concrete realisations in a way that is as accessible as possible.
In this way, Futurium encourages people to help shape a sustainable future.

What else awaits you
The TSI Congress 2024 will once again take place as a purely onsite event this year. Instead of recording the panels, we are offering a user-friendly event app. You can use this app to network with other congress participants, communicate, create your personal agenda and find your way around the event.
The marketplace area will fill the entire hotel lobby this year. We will thus be bringing all exhibitors together in one place and using the previous marketplace area as a congress lounge.
