A series of focus group events will be conducted throughout Scotland to support the ambitious initiative of creating over 20,000 fintech-related jobs in the coming decade.
The recently released FinTech Scotland Research and Innovation Roadmap outlines a strategic approach for the country to capitalize on the burgeoning financial technology sector, aiming to boost economic value from £598 million to more than £2 billion within the next ten years.
In line with these goals, FinTech Tables, in collaboration with FinTech Scotland and law firm Pinsent Masons, will launch a two-year series of research and innovation events. These gatherings will focus on discussions that center around four critical areas of the roadmap: financial regulation, payments and transactions, climate finance, and open finance data.
Nicola Anderson, chief executive of Fintech Scotland, emphasized the initiative’s significance: "This Roadmap event series reflects Scotland’s desire and ambition to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of fintech innovation, ultimately fostering a financial landscape that meets the evolving needs of both citizens and businesses as we navigate the growth of the digital economy."
Additionally, Finextra has announced the upcoming Sustainable Finance Live conference and hackathon, which is scheduled for November 29. For further details and to register, please visit the event page here.
