Betting on people: Bridging the gap between fintech and innovation

A significant amount of money has been invested in FinTech in the past decade; according to CFTE, the FinTech sector is now equivalent to 38% of the banking sector in terms of market capitalization. If FinTech was considered a city, it would rank 3rd as an employer in financial services, after New York and London. In a world where we are playing buzzword bingo on a seemingly daily basis, how do we stay on top of the real innovation trends in this fast developing world? And how can we facilitate pathways to these new opportunities and make sure that no one is left behind? As the saying goes, talent is equally distributed; opportunities are not. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Tram Anh Nguyen, co-founder of CFTE, whose mission is to leverage the power of education to create a more inclusive and welcoming new world of financial services. That’s certainly a purpose we can all get behind.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
