Our 5 key takeaways from RegTech Day Paris 2025
On September 9, 2025, we had the chance to join RegTech Day in Paris. It was a full day of conversations with regulators, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders about how regulation and innovation are shaping the future of compliance.
Here are the key insights that stayed with us:
5 RegTech Day Paris insights that stuck with us
1. Regulation and innovation are coming together
What struck us most is how strongly regulation and innovation are now intertwined. With frameworks like AMLR, DORA, MiCA, and eIDAS-2, compliance is no longer just about “ticking the box.” Institutions need solutions that allow them to stay ahead of change, not chase after it. Compliance is moving into the role of an innovation partner, not just a gatekeeper.
2. Technology can sharpen decision-making, but humans remain essential
AI and data-driven technologies were mentioned in almost every panel. From reducing false positives in KYC to making risk scoring more meaningful, technology clearly has the power to help compliance teams focus on what matters. But the consensus was clear: human oversight is irreplaceable to keep decisions explainable, auditable, and trusted.
3. Compliance is turning into a value creator
We were inspired by case studies showing how RegTech can help companies accelerate onboarding, reduce manual work, and meet ESG requirements more effectively. The days of seeing compliance as a cost center are over. If compliance teams are involved from the start of digital initiatives, they can drive efficiency and business growth.
4. Digital identity is becoming a cornerstone
Another big theme was the need for trusted, interoperable identity systems. With eIDAS-2 and AMLR, it’s clear that secure digital identity will play a central role in KYC/KYB, fraud prevention, and cross-border compliance. We see this as one of the most exciting areas where innovation and regulation meet.
5. Sustainability and data integrity are rising fast on the agenda
Regulatory focus on ESG and sustainability is intensifying. What stood out to us is how much this links back to data integrity and auditability. Companies need not only to measure impact but also to prove the accuracy and governance of their reporting.
Why this matters to Harmoney

We also see a growing opportunity for Harmoney to play a role in digital identity and KYC/KYB innovation, as identity infrastructure becomes a regulatory must-have.
And most importantly, it confirmed something we deeply believe: compliance should be an enabler, not a burden. At Harmoney, we’re building the tools and ecosystem that help compliance teams become true partners in business growth and trust.
