Entrepreneurship in Fintech: From Idea to Market

Current finance has an increasingly technological component. Fintechs adopt technology to create new business models in the financial industry. These are value propositions that challenge the traditional financial sector, combining innovation and the adoption of new technologies with the necessary regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, and trust required in such a sensitive and regulated sector.

In this session, we will have two experts in fintech startup development. In a “face-to-face” format, they will share and compare their ideation, design, development, and launch processes of their fintechs. We will learn which aspects are most critical in creating and developing a fintech from a technological perspective, without neglecting other factors such as forming a balanced team or finding a market to serve.

This session is ideal for anyone with financial and/or technological knowledge, interested in the fintech world and application development in this sector.
