From the launch at TechNation to another opportunity to join ĢƵ – Weekly Round-Up

round up

TechNation FinTech launch! 

On Tuesday the TechNation FinTech 3.0 launch took place online. We were very much looking forward to this kick-off, as it would allow us to meet the other members of the cohort, and give us an opportunity to hear from some heavyweights in both the banking and payments sector. 

Technation

One of the highlights of the launch was Christian Faes, Co-Founder/Exec Chair LendInvest speaking. When he was asked what he would do if could go back and do it all again, he answered that he “…would run quicker!”. As we embrace all the opportunities, synergies, collaboration and engagement that will come with being a part of Fintech 3.0, we’re going to stick true to these words of encouragement.

Oh, and we also very much enjoyed our Tech Nation selection box we received prior to the event ()

“I’m really excited and honoured to be part of such a timely forum. AI and ML services touch our everyday lives ,from recommending what we watch to the groceries that we buy.” 

Dr. Fiona Browne, Head of AI at ĢƵ

“Within financial services, ML can offer efficiency benefits reducing manual time-consuming tasks, to saving customers money in suggesting best financial products to bespoke customer service solutions and fraud detection. These solutions need to sit within a legal and regulatory environment in the financial sector and are not without their risks and challenges.”
