FinTech Innovation Ecosystem
March 22, 2018
This is a highly interactive workshop with mini lectures, role-plays and vibrant group discussions. The return on the investment is that participants will gain knowledge of how start-ups think, and consider whether they intend to create their own start-up or engage with start-ups in the FinTech ecosystem. Senior managers, professionals and advisors interested in understanding the FinTech Start-up Ecosystem and the start-ups’ approach to building and growing companies are encouraged to attend.
