FINTECH: Business Opportunities & Key Tech, Legal and Regulatory Challenges

Financial Technology (FinTech) has created new opportunities for development, growth and expansion. Modern business, commerce and finance have increasingly become dominated by new advances in technology and tech innovation. This has been driven by continuous developments in the areas of distributed ledger technology (DLT), blockchain, automation, smart contracts, cryptoassets, as well as machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, quantum computing, applied robotics and nanotechnology. All of this will have a profound impact on the structure of banking and financial markets as well as the delivery of banking and financial services. This event brings together leading experts in a number of these core areas to discuss current opportunities and challenges.
