The Congress
The TSI Congress has been held annually in Berlin since 2007 and has established itself as a key event for the securitisation and asset-based finance markets. It is an event that meets the highest quality standards.
In 2025, the congress attracted all relevant market participants, including over 85 sponsors, media partners, and supporting organisations, more than 650 guests, as well as regulatory authorities such as the Deutsche Bundesbank and the ECB, political decision-makers, EU representatives, investors, business associations, and the press.
2026 marks a truly special milestone: the TSI Congress celebrates its 20th anniversary – 20 years of bringing the community together. For two decades, we have been bringing together stakeholders from the financial sector, business, politics and regulatory bodies to actively shape the future of the asset-based finance industry.
The TSI Congress 2026 takes place against the backdrop of profound global change: massive geopolitical shifts, economic uncertainties and far-reaching transformation processes are placing immense pressure on capital markets and the real economy. Capital markets and securitisation are playing an increasingly central role – for growth, for resilience and for financing Europe’s major future challenges.
As in previous years, the TSI Congress brings together leading experts, policymakers and market participants – offering up-to-date economic and political insights, capital market trends, regulatory developments as well as numerous opportunities for networking and personal positioning.
2026 Topic Areas at a Glance
- Geopolitics, Macroeconomics & European Competitiveness
Capital markets at the intersection of economic policy, transformation and geopolitical disruption. The Savings and Investment Union, mobilisation of private capital and the role of securitisation in an international comparison. - Market Trends
Developments in the market segments of public ABS, synthetic SRT as well as ABCP and private securitisations. Impact of the Basel III finalisation, changes in the investor base, capital relief and pricing dynamics. - Asset Classes

Competition for traditional financing through BNPL, inventory finance and embedded lending, and financing of new asset classes such as solar, heat pumps and data centres.

What do our participants say about the congress?
Once again, many thanks for the — yet again — outstanding congress. We felt completely well looked after and exceptionally supported throughout. It’s always a pleasure to meet all market participants in a familiar and welcoming atmosphere. I’m already looking forward to next year.
Bastian Menges, Santander German
Congratulations for organizing this amazing congress. It is clearly the event in the industry with high-quality panels and virtually all market participants attending. It is good to see that the congress increasingly attracts an international audience beyond Germany, and I was delighted to meet many "first-timers". Looking forward to the 20th congress next year.
Dr. Oliver Kronat, Clifford Chance
Many thanks to you and the entire team for the excellent organization. We once again had two very successful and eventful days.
Lars Fischer, Volkswagen Bank
The strengthening of European capital markets was the central theme of the TSI Congress 2025. Dialogue between business, policymakers, and academia on this topic plays a key role in Europe’s competitiveness. The discussions on the Savings and Investment Union made one thing clear: only by directing capital strategically into innovation and future technologies can Europe maintain its strength. It was inspiring to see how many stakeholders are ready to work together on this challenge.
Prof. Jörg Rocholl, PhD, Präsident, ESMT Berlin
As always I appreciated the high quality of the debate on the crucial topics for the future of Europe.
Katharina Beck, Deutscher Bundestag - Bundestagsfraktion Bündnis 90/Die Grünen
An outstanding conference with excellent timing — a strong signal to European legislators, who are currently considering crucial decisions for the securitization market and were able to gain a clear sense in Berlin of the improvements market participants would like to see in the EU Securitization Regulation.
Detlef Fechtner, Börsen-Zeitung
Europe is not a spectator’s gallery, but our space to shape the future. We know what needs to be done - the insight is there, the challenge lies in implementation. Once we fully realize the capital market, our internal market of 450 million people will become a driver of innovation, investment, and trust. The discussions in Berlin were engaged, honest, and forward-looking. My thanks go to TSI and all participants for this inspiring evening.
Dr. Othmar Karas, Präsident des European Forum Alpbach, Erster Vizepräsident des Europäischen Parlaments a.D.
Many thanks — I really appreciate the organization. The setting was, once again, spectacular!
Dr. Martin Kaiser, Partner Ashurst
As Banca Finint we attended the TSI congress for the first time. We found it to be a very well-organized event, with interesting discussion topics underlying the importance of structured finance as a funding tool. It was further an excellent opportunity to connect with key stakeholders of the German ABS market. We hope to be back next year.
Luigi Bussi, Managing Director BANCA FININT
First of all, congratulations on a successful TSI Congress. I believe that artificial intelligence will become indispensable to the securitization and financial sector in the future. From my perspective — and as a first-time participant — it is truly a high-quality format with everything that entails. Hats off!
Phillipp Tiedt, Partner BDO
It was great to participate in this years TSI conference in Berlin. Two full days of interesting panels & face-to-face discussions about securitization and asset based finance!
Tim Dornbusch, Director Structured Finance KION Group
We had a great panel discussion at True Sale International GmbH in Berlin yesterday on the current status of the ABCP Conduit market in Europe, the benefits it can offer to originators, the advantages versus factoring, the structural features parties should consider in transactions to be prepared for crisis situations and to what extent warehouse financing structures can support the transition to a "greener economy".
Marc Wolf, Senior Director Bayern LB
A big thank you to Jan-Peter Huelbert and the entire True Sale International GmbH team for organizing the premier forum for #securitization in Germany and beyond.

Another successful #TSICongress2024 in a vibrant atmosphere, humming with discussions on the latest trends, challenges and solutions in the securitisation industry.
Damien Nussbaum, Head of Structured Finance & Capital Markets Services Trustmoore Luxembourg
Insightful TSI congress, as usual. Strong optimism among all attendees. Securitisation is recognised as a valuable tool in mobilising investments needed for advancing the green transition and digitalisation efforts.
Alexandra Fantuz, Managing Director Altum Group
Over the past two days, the financial community gathered in Berlin for the annual #TSICongress. With over 650 participants, including banks, investors, issuers, and service providers, the congress remains the leading forum for discussing the pivotal role of #securitization in Germany and beyond. As proud strategic partners of TSI for many years, PwC and Strategy& were deeply engaged in insightful discussions with clients and business partners. Our experts also shared their knowledge through various panels and presentations.
Dr. Philipp Wackerbeck, Partner, Member of the Management Board PwC Strategy& (Germany)
Thank you #TSI for fostering a strong, ongoing dialogue among politicians, bankers, and intermediaries to advance Germany’s capital markets. Over the past 15 years, debt markets in Germany grew by 33%, providing more corporates and financial institutions access to funding. As we aim towards a net-zero economy and infrastructure renewal, structured finance will be key.
I was very pleased to share S&P Global Ratings' perspective at #TSICongress2024.
Tobias Mock, Managing Director S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited
