Fintech Fusion: The Past, Present & Future Of Financial Disruption
The financial eco system is in the midst of being disrupted, across several financial services, including: banking, transfers, payments, lending, insurance, investment management and more.
Some say these changes are revolutionizing an eco-system that had been stagnant, and hadn't moved ahead at the same pace the rest of the technological world has been evolving.
Want to be inspired and better understand how startups can have a central role in revolutionizing a strong and well established ecosystem? What was the trigger to start the chain reaction of the disruption we are witnessing? Who are the major players in each financial sector? Where are these changes leading to? What will the financial eco-system look like after it catches up with the technological innovations, and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead for entrepreneurs in this field?
Join us and understand the FinTech disruption and how the increasing pressure to innovate influences business models, consumer behaviour, and the fundamental structure of the financial services industry.
