2026Inclusive Finance 2026
Last year, 760 attendees called in online and attended in person for IF25.
In 2026, we’re excited to welcome you once more to one of the world’s leading gatherings in financial inclusion!
Formerly known as European Microfinance Week (EMW), the event has over two decades evolved to become a core international event, gathering experts from around the world and mapping out the future of the industry.
The IF26 agenda will feature topics from previous years (gender finance and green and climate finance), sector trends identified in e-MFP’s Financial Inclusion Compass 2026 (changing funding landscape and emerging technologies like AI) and the theme of this year’s Luxembourg Award for Inclusive Finance, youth-inclusive finance.
