Powering growth, building resilience
The 2026 Santander International Banking Conference took place against a backdrop of intense economic, technological and geopolitical change. In these times, building resilience has never been more important. So too is powering the economic growth we need to finance that resilience.
Our conference brought together leaders from the public and private sectors to explore how business, banking and government can unlock the investment, innovation and productivity needed to drive future growth and strengthen economic resilience.
