September at The Fintech Times: Fintech Ecosystems

No man is an island when it comes to fintech, and in the pursuit of a better world powered by better financial services, it’s clear that standing together means moving forward together. This September at Fintech Times, we will dive into every corner of what it means to be a fintech ecosystem. We’ve dedicated the entire month to examining what makes a successful fintech ecosystem, how fintech can collaborate more effectively, as well as providing a regional view of some of the industry’s best examples of community collaboration.

Fintech ecosystems are an industry dialect that pops up time and time again throughout our headlines, but what forms the identity of a fintech ecosystem and how can such initiatives generate worldwide benefits?

Naturally, the meaning of “fintech ecosystem” will vary depending on which area of ​​the industry is involved. In pursuit of comprehensive analysis, we have invited a wide range of industry experts and ecosystem representatives to help us uncover the true definition.

Our month will begin with fintech partnerships, a familiar move in the industry. Here, our speaker selection will seek to answer:

• What are the advantages of outsourcing in fintech?
• Is it better to compete or cooperate?
• How do payment partnerships drive innovation?

Following this debut, our attention is expected to shift to the fascinating topic of wealth technology during our second week of coverage, in the perfect opportunity to analyze how fintech’s cutting-edge capabilities are being incorporated into the sector. Together we will discuss:

• How is AI used in wealth management and what are the benefits?
• How does automated software allocate investments?
• What can European fintech ecosystems learn from the US wealth technology sector?
• Which fintech ecosystem is leading the way in the development of wealthtech and why?

Our third week of coverage will get down to the nitty gritty of what being in a fintech ecosystem actually looks like. We take a region-by-region view of the fintech ecosystems leading Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.

As we wrap up our coverage, the final month of September will see us unpack the world of expansions, mergers and acquisitions; a very applicable theme for fintechs and industry players who want to expand their services. Our speakers will answer all your burning questions to:

• The tools essential to a successful fintech expansion
• What the acquisition is trying to achieve

• What is the hardest fintech market to expand into

True to itself, The Fintech Times will include our coverage across all of our many outlets, including our highly anticipated podcasts, webinars and in-person interviews. Fintech ecosystems have and will continue to determine the trajectory of the industry, and so it is impossible to overstate their importance to our common goal.

We look forward to sharing our exclusive insights into this matter with you, our beloved audience, in the coming weeks.
