    Keynote Address: Future of Banking and Financial Institutes

    The banking industry is facing a pivotal moment, with uncertainty surrounding future profit growth. Regulations and growing competition remain a concern, however, the biggest challenge comes from a global trend: disruptive new players from diverse industries that have adopted innovative cross-industry platform models, much like the success seen in companies such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, PayPal, and Spotify. These new entrants bring with them a more efficient economic model, posing a significant threat to the traditional banking sector.

    The era of the universal bank model is coming to an end and investors are increasingly recognizing the value of specialization over the traditional one-size-fits-all approach. The future of banking lies in specialized platforms.

    Fireside Chat: Tech Driven Products and Platforms

    Financial services in the current form haven’t evolved their products in a way that matches the tech-driven pace of change in other industries. Products such as checking accounts, loans, and even corporate advisory can seem undifferentiated.

    To compete, most banks will have to embrace cross-industrial platforms. These new platforms dismantle the barriers between traditional industries, reshaping customer behavior and turning formerly linear value chains into ecosystems that fulfill customer needs in new ways.

    Panel Discussion: Data and Analytics at the core of transformation

Roughly 200 digital banks have launched since 2015, as have new brokerages such as Robinhood, wealth-advisory services such as Betterment, alternate investment banking paths such as special-purpose acquisition companies, payment platforms, and start-up capital platforms such as SeedInvest Technology.
