This year we aim to take deep dives into everything from Health to Fashion, Food to Fintech or Energy to Edtech. Check out the outline for our programme this year:
See Full Program ScheduleThe fact of the matter is to be truly innovative banks today need a dramatic corporate culture shift with an entire new set of incentives to make it work. Is this possible? Is it necessary? Are banks simply a ticking time bomb that has already be triggered? Are fintech about to kill off traditional banks? Do innovators in this space want or need to collaborate? What do financial flows look like in 10yrs? What is the next wave of disruptive technologies? The FinTech track at South Summit is power by BBVA, a long time innovator in the area of financial services and a loyal supporter of South Summit.
We are living an incredible fintech revolution and blockchain is one of the key technologies that is disrupting financial services. Is blockchain the definitive solution for digital currency? How are traditional banks reacting to the transparency that a digital currency can give to all stakeholders, consumers, competitor, and regulators? Is blockchain really more secure? How can the banks protect against foreseen threats? Will we see the end of traditional bricks-and-mortar lenders? What else can we adapt the blockchain technology to? commodities? Gold? Diamonds?
