Agentic engineering is rapidly moving from experimentation into broader strategic discussion. As new forms of AI-supported and increasingly agent-driven software delivery emerge, financial institutions are beginning to ask what this development could mean – not only for engineering teams, but also for value creation, operating models, governance, architecture, and talent.
To explore these questions, ELCA and SFTI are jointly convening an Emerging Topics Exchange in Bern. The format is designed as a curated and moderated exchange for decision makers and experts who would like to explore the current state of the topic as well as its potential, separate myth from reality, and discuss direct implications as well as second-order effects that may become relevant for financial services in the coming years.
The session will bring together senior representatives from banks, insurance companies and the broader ecosystem, alongside engineers and subject-matter experts. Rather than following a classic keynote or panel format, the event is structured around short input impulses, thematic deep dives and a joint synthesis of key insights.
The discussion will focus on six thematic clusters:
- Business Perspective & Value Creation
What are the implications agentic engineering has for the business, and how might it impact how value gets created in the future?
- People & Talent
How does agentic engineering affect roles, skills, talent needs and the broader transformation of work?
- Operating Model Implications
How do financial institutions’ operating models need to evolve to take advantage of agentic engineering from delivery to decision-making and collaboration across functions?
- Complexity & Architecture
How does agentic engineering affect architectural complexity, system integration and the ability to manage technology landscapes at scale?
- Governance, Risk & Control
How can agentic engineering be governed responsibly in regulated environments, and what forms of oversight, accountability and control are required before it can scale?
- Dependencies, Sovereignty and Resilience
What new dependencies emerge through agentic engineering, and how can institutions retain strategic and operational control and remain resilient?
The objective is to arrive at a shared and practice-relevant assessment of the current state, including key observations, implications, open questions and possible follow-up areas for the community.
