Technology is a great friend of transparency, truthfulness and trustworthiness. It follows therefore that we should enthusiastically embrace opportunities to harness the transformational power of technology to improve the way the sector operates. 

This symposium is all about organisations with tech that can make a difference so it will be of particular interest to individuals and organisations that authentically align with the idea that tech has a big part to play in transforming the financial ecosystem. 

There are some truly exciting developments just on the horizon that are working their way towards us at great speed; some of them are powerful enough to deserve to be thought of as “Transparency Machines” .

This online symposium will therefore be of great interest to individuals and organisations keen to learn about the type of breakthrough technologies and applications that are entering the market and how they can constructively disrupt the status quo, helping to obliterate the opacity that the financial service sector is sadly still riddled with.
