Rethink, Reimagine & Redesign Financial Services with FinTech.
In recent years, there has been wide acknowledgement of the benefits and value Fintech such as A.I, Big Data Analytics, Blockchain and Machine Learning can bring to financial institutions and consumers. The increased adoption of Fintech by banks in the B2B space and by consumers in the B2C space has fuelled the business growth for Fintech companies and also led to increased investments in Fintech by banks as well as a surge in hiring for Fintech talents.
As Fintech slowly gain prominence in recent years, it has also sparked the interest of other non-financial industries to adopt these technologies to boost business productivity and efficiency. Driven by the merits and value that Fintech can bring to the organisation, many businesses have started to embrace and invest in Fintech.
In this highly interactive session, participants are empowered with fundamental knowledge of these emerging technologies and their use cases in the industry today. Through practical case studies, participants will deepen their understanding of Fintech as they critically evaluate the use cases of these emerging technologies and learn how they have contributed to business processes and customer engagement.
