Finance IE Talk in Frankfurt: "Making Sense of Sustainable Finance in a New World"

Join IE University and the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, for an engaging evening exploring the future of finance through sustainability, innovation, and responsible investment.

 At the first edition of the IE Frankfurt Finance Day, top finance professionals from the region, IE alumni, and invited guests will come together for thought-provoking discussions and high-level networking.

Master Class with Prof. Damián Rubianes Carrasco

Former Managing Director at Haitong Securities and BNP Paribas, Prof. Rubianes will explore how ESG strategies and sustainable finance are reshaping capital markets. Expect real-world case studies and insights into green vs. sustainability-linked financing, EU taxonomy, climate risk, and the evolving definition of financial value. As a sought-after professor at IE Business School, Prof. Rubianes brings a rare mix of deep financial insight and academic clarity.

Panel Discussion

Prof. Rubianes, IE University alumni, and other finance experts will debate critical questions such as: Why are sustainability-linked bonds losing traction? How do we tackle ESG data challenges? Is anti-ESG sentiment a trend or systemic issue?
