08:45 – 09:30 Registration, refreshments and networking

09:30 – 09:45 Chairman’s Opening Remarks

FinTech is a fast moving area that is attracting many billions of dollars of worldwide investment. Disruptive technologies continue to fuel innovation and threaten vulnerable institutions across the FinTech spectrum, with various sectors (such as payments) experiencing the biggest shake ups. But where are we in the cycle of change and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead?

09:45 – 10:45 Investment Strategies Panel – Fuelling FinTech

Today’s FinTech companies are rapidly unbundling financial services and offering increased choice, flexibility and customer experience. But what sort of investment are we seeing and what sort of engines are investors looking to fuel? Venture capital is sometimes called rocket fuel for its ability to allow companies to grow quickly and to lofty heights. But is it always the best option and what else is available?

Pretty Young Thing – what are investors looking for in FinTech companies? Are network effect businesses more likely to succeed? Crowdfunding and alternative investment opportunities Solid, long term family office and angel investments

12:20 – 13:20 How do you value a FinTech company?

Valuing a FinTech company in a time of such rapid technological change and with high levels of investor interest is extremely difficult. Investors will want to see a business model that shows the value of the business and the potential for it to both scale and grow. They will also want confidence that the team is sturdy enough to face the challenges ahead. What are the main considerations in this complex process?

FinTech companies tend to be adaptable, reactive and without many of the legacy issues that incumbent companies face in the market place. But a successful FinTech company will need to scale quickly. So when should incumbents and entrepreneurs collaborate and when should they compete? How can partnering and investment improve customer experience and what are some paths to success?
