Scotsman fintech event: what has fintech ever done for us?
Fintech has made a huge impact on the financial services sector and the wider economy of Scotland – but what did it ever do for us?
That’s the subject of a quick-fire panel discussion at Strathclyde Business School in Glasgow on Wednesday, 5 June, with experts from across the fintech field, including Nicola Anderson of Fintech Scotland, Professor Eleanor Shaw of the University of Strathclyde and Louise Smith, Head of Intelligent Automation at RBS.
The panel is completed by young entrepreneur Daniel Sloan of BankPal, Chris Brown of Deloitte and Callum Sinclair of Burness Paull.
If you are a member of the fintech community, or interested in the sector in any way, we would love to see you there for the rapid-fire discussion around seven key topics, each representing a letter of fintech:
FINANCIAL INCLUSION
Last year’s discussion asked if fintech could be an agent of positive social change. How are we doing in terms of financial inclusion and does fintech in Scotland still have that social purpose?
INNOVATION
How is the sector coming together in a collaborative way to deliver genuine innovation, through initiatives like the Glasgow City Innovation District? Are we seeing any tangible outputs?
NEXT GENERATION ENTREPRENEURS
How is Scotland doing at creating a generation of fintech entrepreneurs who can provide the economic powerhouses of tomorrow?
TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY
What are Scottish fintech businesses doing to build customer trust – and are they being fully transparent about their use of data? Can Scotland use trust and transparency as its fintech USP?
EMPLOYMENT
Last year, Fintech Scotland’s company map had 40 businesses on it. This has now doubled to 80-plus. Scotland is also attracting fintech jobs in large financial institutions. Is fintech starting to drive significant employment growth?
CONSUMER DATA
As consumers become more aware of the importance of their data to large tech companies, how can fintech help them to realise value from that data?
HOME-BUYING JOURNEY
How can fintech have a positive impact on the way we buy and sell homes? Does it have the power to bring together the whole home-buying journey in a simpler, more seamless way? And can this approach be rolled over into other aspects of our lives, such as travel and tourism?
