European Competitiveness: How can Private Capital Bridge the Funding Gap?

Episode 21 | 10 September 2026

Europe stands at a critical crossroad. To remain competitive with global economic powers, the continent faces an estimated annual investment shortfall of EUR 750–800 billion. At the same time, geopolitical tensions, the energy transition, infrastructure modernization, and the resulting need for defense and technological sovereignty are driving unprecedented capital requirements.

However, traditional funding sources are under pressure. Banks face increasing regulatory constraints, public finances are stretched, and progress toward a fully integrated Capital Markets Union remains gradual. As a result, a significant financing gap is emerging across Europe.

Join us to learn how the mobilization of private capital can become a key enabler for Europe’s next investment cycle.

This webcast will be conducted in English.

About the webcast series

Dive into the latest trends that shape the European banking landscape. Inspired by Deloitte’s European Banking Trend Radar, our webcast series covers trends from a universal range of topics that we divide into six dimensions:

Clients
ESG
Regulatory and Political
Economics and Financial Markets
Technology
Company Organization

From crypto assets to fraud by generative AI, we carefully select one trend per episode that is discussed in detail by our Deloitte experts who share their knowledge and insights to help banks get an in-depth understanding on the topic and its impact on the financial industry. Using trend research, banks can analyze the most pressing market developments and act before a trend reaches maturity.

In a dynamic world that keeps changing faster and faster, a timely reaction to emerging developments is more important than ever before. Those who miss critical trends run the risk of falling behind and losing business. By contrast, firms that react swiftly have the opportunity to seize an unparalleled competitive advantage over their peers. To be successful, banks must screen for trends, evaluate their impact on all affected business units, map out scenarios and strategic plans, and allocate appropriate resources. This way, they can take advantage of not just positive developments but also shield themselves from harm by potential threats. From trend detection to the implementation of strategic decisions, Deloitte is using Trend Radar as a tool to assist clients throughout all stages of this process.

Trust under Pressure

Cyber Security in the Age of AI

In financial services, trust is the product — and artificial intelligence has just rewritten the cost of breaking it. In late 2025, the first cyberattack run almost entirely by an AI agent moved this threat from theory to reality, and financial institutions were among its targets. At the same time, AI now writes the majority of phishing, can deepfake a CFO on a live video call, and is putting fraud losses on a path toward $40 billion. For banks, insurers and exchanges, identity, money and information can suddenly be forged at industrial speed and scale. But the same technology that empowers the attacker hands a decisive advantage to the institutions bold enough to seize it. In this keynote, Deloitte's Cyber Security and Cyber Defense & Resilience leaders cut through the hype to show what Silicon Valley and the world's other AI hubs are really building — and what it means for you. They translate the newest threat intelligence, hard statistics and the perspectives of the people building AI into a clear, forward-leaning agenda for FSI decision-makers.
