Event Details

Deep dive into Smart Financial Instruments (SFI), a ground-breaking end-to-end digitalized platform for fintech.

With the recent adoption of the DLT Pilot Regime as part of the Digital Finance Package, the EU has signaled its commitment to boosting Europe's competitiveness and innovation in the financial sector. SFI is a new regulated component-oriented platform being developed by Deon Digital, based on pioneering research at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen (DIKU) and an open partnership with Agreena ApS, BEC Financial Technologies and Capital Market Partners. 

It comes with a secure smart contract language for expressing standard securities such as fixed-rate bonds, novel crypto assets and advanced financial instruments such as KPI-linked green bonds; programmable trading, from simple bid-offer matching to secure auctions; subsecond settlement of trades; tamper-proof storage with real-time reporting and monitoring of settled trades; and high throughput, scalability and energy efficiency.

At this event Copenhagen Fintech invites you to take a peek at SFI, about the challenges it addresses and the unique opportunities it provides for the Danish financial sector and beyond.

The event is hosted in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen and Copenhagen Fintech. Please reach out to Fritz Henglein ([email protected]) if you have questions about the event.
