The finance industry is entering a new phase shaped by Artificial Intelligence, FinTech, sustainable investing, ESG, digital banking, and data-driven decision-making. As these developments influence businesses and financial institutions, students and professionals need opportunities to understand how financial concepts are applied beyond textbooks.
CAPXCHANGE 2026, hosted by Regional College of Management (RCM), Bhubaneswar, aims to create such a platform for Eastern India's finance and business community.
Scheduled for 18–19 September 2026, CAPXCHANGE is a two-day finance conclave built around the theme “Green Finance, Smart Future: Redefining Wealth in the Age of AI and Sustainability.” The event brings together finance experts, corporate leaders, academicians, professionals, and students to explore the changing relationship between technology, sustainability, finance, and wealth creation.

CAPXCHANGE 2026 focuses on several emerging areas influencing modern financial services, including:
- AI in Finance
- Green Finance
- ESG Investing
- FinTech
- Digital Banking
- Wealth Management
- Financial Innovation

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used for areas such as forecasting, fraud detection, risk assessment, customer analysis, and investment research. At the same time, green finance and ESG investing are encouraging organisations to consider environmental and social factors alongside financial returns.
Discussions around these themes can help participants understand how the finance industry is becoming increasingly technology-driven and sustainability-focused.

Such activities can help students strengthen analytical thinking, financial interpretation, Excel skills, presentation abilities, and decision-making.
