Mimacom at Richmond Financial Forum 2026

Mimacom at Richmond Financial Forum 2026

Mimacom is delighted to attend the 2026 Richmond Financial Industry Forum. The event brings together a small group of senior decision-makers from banking, insurance, and financial services. Attendance is curated, and discussions take place in closed sessions.

 

Key Details

  • What: Richmond Financial Industry Forum

  • When: May 7 & 8, 2026

  • Where:  Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa, Interlaken, Switzerland

  • Who: Markus Böhm, CEO; Jasmine Birkle, Senior Sales Executive Manager; and Matthias Köhler, VP Sales & Marketing.

The curated context matters. The topics explored here tend to reflect what organizations are actively working on, rather than what is being presented publicly. The emphasis is on peer-level discussion, with a focus on current initiatives, implementation challenges, and decisions that are still in progress.

For teams responsible for digital platforms, data, and transformation, the forum offers a useful indication of where priorities are shifting in 2026. The team at Mimacom can't wait to share what we're working on with the delegates.

Why this event matters in 2026

Organizations across financial services are dealing with a similar set of pressures. AI is moving into production environments. Legacy platforms continue to limit speed and flexibility. Regulatory expectations are increasing, particularly around data and risk. At the same time, cost pressure is forcing more selective investment decisions.

Events like those hosted by Richmond are relevant because they bring these challenges into direct discussion between peers. The value is not in presentation, but in comparison – how different institutions are approaching similar constraints.

Current priorities in financial services transformation

The agenda of the Richmond Financial Forum highlights a small number of issues that are shaping decision-making across financial services.

AI is a central focus, but the emphasis is on execution rather than experimentation. Discussions center on how to achieve measurable returns, apply AI in areas like fraud detection, and ensure it remains explainable and controlled in regulated processes.

Risk is also being reframed. Sessions on cyber threats, fintech dependencies, and macroeconomic pressure point to a growing recognition that complexity itself is becoming a source of vulnerability.

Alongside this, there is a clear tension between digitalization and control. A key question running through the program is how far institutions can modernize without losing oversight, particularly as systems become more distributed and data-driven.

Meet Mimacom at the Richmond Financial Forum

Mimacom is participating in the Richmond Financial Forum based on its experience delivering digital platforms and data architectures in regulated environments. 

The topics being discussed at the Richmond Financial Forum are grounded in delivery experience across banking and insurance.  The focus is on implementation and measurable outcomes.

Real-world use cases behind our discussions

  • Digital onboarding. For a Swiss retail bank, Mimacom developed a platform that reduced onboarding time from several days to around 20 minutes. The solution supports secure, always-available access to online banking and has contributed to the bank being recognized as a leader in digital maturity.

  • Centralized digital platforms. Built on Liferay, Mimacom created a portal for a major European insurer that supports policy purchase, distributor services, and mobile-first customer journeys, while consolidating fragmented systems into a single architecture.

  • Self-service solutions.  For a global invoice financing division, Mimacom developed a global self-service portal integrated with core systems. Customers can manage contracts, invoices, and payments directly, reducing financing processes from days to minutes and improving service efficiency.

Our team will be discussing these projects and many other possibilities besides. If you're attending, be sure to connect with the team.

Bringing these discussions into practice

For Mimacom, participation in the Richmond Financial Forum is an opportunity to engage directly with institutions working through similar transformation challenges.

The discussions reflect the same questions seen across ongoing projects: how to apply AI in controlled environments, how to modernize without disrupting core systems, and how to structure data so it supports both compliance and real-time use.

Being part of these exchanges helps connect strategic priorities with implementation. It ensures that the approaches being developed are grounded in what financial institutions are actively trying to deliver, not just long-term plans. 

We look forward to meeting the delegates in Interlaken on May 7 and 8.
