In this episode of #StreetsTalksTo we talk to Nicola Anderson, CEO of Fintech Scotland.
In this conversation we learn more about FinTech Scotland, their key objectives to help the community of fintech entrepreneurs, the ambition of the economic contribution, strategic relationships, and the development of an inclusive environment to enable FinTech innovation to really thrive.
We outline the opportunities that fintech collaboration and innovation bring to us all, with an update on the FinTech Research and Innovation Roadmap, one year on since it was launched. The Roadmap was published with a very specific question, what should the future of finance look like? It was developed in close coordination with fintech entrepreneurs, the financial services sector, academia, regulators, Government bodies and consumer groups, and provides a framework to increase the positive impact of FinTech Innovation across Scotland and the UK.
We discuss the significance of fintech in our digital economy and how its evolving innovation and problem solving in the current economic and climate. We talk about how the Kalifa Review and research and development (R&D) in Scotland along with data, can advance business and help economic development in the UK and beyond. And lastly Nicola shares her favourite piece of regulation!
