Over the past few years, Fintech and Cryptocurrencies have dominated the conversation in the global financial world. An ideal example of a driving force in innovation, digital currencies and the technology supporting them have gained traction among experts, governments, entrepreneurs and many others. As with many other emerging novelties, introducing a change into the financial sector comes with challenges and opportunities which have to be carefully navigated when facing decade old financial institutions and regulations.

This webinar will offer a better understanding of opportunities and innovation in fintech and cryptocurrency, and gain insights into entrepreneurship within these sectors. Experts will detail their motivation, challenges, and roles in this field while guiding those who are interested in following their steps.

The European Chamber is delighted to collaborate with China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) eLab in inviting George Sheng, CEO, MYKEY and Filipe Castro, Co-Founder, Utrust to share their insights and expertise on the above mentioned. Join us on 24^th June at 16:00 (GMT+8).
