At INSPIRE:2026, we welcomed our customers to Düsseldorf to share what we've been building. From 09:00 AM to 4:40 PM, the program featured product innovations, new capabilities and the thinking behind them — shaped by real-world use and real conversations. The day concluded with a networking dinner, offering drinks, food and further opportunities to connect with fellow attendees.

Once a year, we create a space where our community comes together — not to be talked at, but to connect, exchange and challenge ideas.

Beyond the agenda, INSPIRE is about growth. About relationships that deepen, perspectives that broaden, and the value that emerges when experiences and opinions are openly shared.

  • Industry perspectives: Experts and banking leaders shared their views on the future of corporate banking.
  • Product insights: Participants explored the latest developments around multi:versa.
  • Exchange within the community: Banking professionals connected and shared experiences throughout the day.
  • Evening Get-Together: Existing customers met the evening before INSPIRE for an informal exchange.
  • Location: Once again, Forty Four provided the perfect setting overlooking Düsseldorf.

Morning Program – Product Sessions

STAGE 1

With FIDA, PSD3 and the PSR on the horizon, banks are facing a new wave of regulatory transformation across payments and financial data.

Join this session to gain an overview of the key developments and explore how financial institutions can position themselves for the regulatory landscape ahead.

Over the past years, we have introduced new capabilities that help banks improve how they interact and collaborate with their corporate clients.

In this presentation, we bring the pieces together and show how multi:engage enables a seamless end-to-end engagement experience across communication, workflows and digital banking services.

As artificial intelligence evolves from experimental technology to operational infrastructure, banks must rethink how they build, secure and operate digital banking platforms.

This presentation explores coconet’s latest AI developments and offers a forward-looking perspective on the opportunities and challenges of AI in corporate banking.

SMEs represent one of the largest growth opportunities for banks, yet their digital banking experience often remains fragmented and limited.

In this presentation, we explore how banks can support SMEs with modern capabilities such as EBICS connectivity, cash flow forecasting and intuitive treasury insights.

Payments and cash management capabilities continue to evolve as banks respond to new payment formats, regulatory requirements and changing client expectations.

In this presentation, we explore how the digital banking channel is advancing with new capabilities, platform enhancements and regulatory developments shaping the future of payments and corporate banking services.

STAGE 2

multi:hub continues to evolve as banks expand connectivity, orchestration and integration capabilities across their digital banking ecosystems.

In this presentation, we share the latest developments, enhancements and upcoming investments that further strengthen multi:hub as the integration backbone for modern corporate banking platforms.

Modern banking platforms depend on a strong technological foundation that evolves alongside new security requirements, cloud architectures and integration standards.

In this presentation, we provide an update on key technology developments, from SaaS capabilities and security integrations to platform upgrades and new approaches to testing, APIs and connectivity.

As banks look to automate increasingly complex processes, the ability to define clear and flexible workflow logic becomes essential.

This session takes a closer look at how FEEL expressions in multi:engage can be used to model conditions and create more intelligent, adaptable workflows in the Workflow Studio.

Exclusive Pre-Event Evening for Existing Customers
