🎨 We’re thrilled to announce that Lucia Tallová has been named Deutsche Bank's "Artist of the Year" 2026! Born in Bratislava, Slovakia, she graduated from the local Academy of Fine Arts and gained international recognition in 2022 through her participation in the 16th Lyon Biennale. Her often room-filling installations resemble surreal tableaux that explore memory, human and geological history, and develop new forms of storytelling and archiving. Launched in 2010, the “Artist of the Year” award recognises promising artists who have already created work of artistic and social relevance, integrating the two core areas of the Deutsche Bank Collection: works on paper and photography. Lucia Tallová was nominated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, directors of the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin and founders of the curatorial platform Art Reoriented. We can’t wait to see how she will transform the space of PalaisPopulaire next year! 📸: Miro Nota

🌍 Supporting the global transformation: Deutsche Bank sets new sustainable and transition finance target Following the announcement of our strategy and financial targets for 2026–2028, we are taking another decisive step toward shaping a sustainable future. 🌱 🎯 Deutsche Bank has set a new cumulative €900 billion sustainable and transition finance target (ex-DWS) for the period from 2020 to the end of 2030, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in the global transformation. This updated ambition includes €440 billion already achieved in Sustainable Finance and ESG Investments through Q3 2025. 📑 To support this target, we have published our initial Transition Finance Framework, defining clear rules for financing credible net-zero transitions in hard-to-abate sectors. This framework enables us to mobilise capital at scale for technologies that cut emissions and strengthen resilience, helping clients enhance their transition maturity. In addition, we are introducing a nature ambition to facilitate 300 transactions by the end of 2027, supporting biodiversity as well as ecosystem conservation and restoration in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
