In a climate of financial instability, we’re taking a look at how ripe the market is for digital disruption.

At the Futures Forum innovators and business leaders look to the future, which is more important than ever in current times. Through expert talks, we’ll set out to learn new insights and discuss strategies for a changing social, economic and technological landscape.

What opportunities does a crisis like COVID-19 present for growing FinTech businesses, and what are the challenges associated with startups and SMEs in the space? How important is collaboration between corporate incumbents and agile newcomers? And exactly what does this collaboration look like?

These are all the topics and questions we look to answer.
