FINTECH EXECUTIVES MEETS SILICON VALLEY
In October 2018, 10x Innovation Lab welcomed a cohort of FinTech executives from the Colombian financial sector, a program that was held in partnership with American Chamber of Commerce Colombia, Fedesoft, and Colombia FinTech. Here, the group met with more than 15 cutting-edge companies that are disrupting the status quo and shaping the future of the financial sector today. This include up-and-coming startups like Token, Ripple, Juvo and more, as well as Silicon Valley incumbents like Google, Cisco and Bank of the West.
The participants had an opportunity to have in-depth discussions with Silicon Valley experts and see the latest innovations in the areas of:
Banking Redefined with the Rise of Artificial Intelligence
API-driven Banking (Open Banking)
Peer-to-Peer Digital Lending
How Blockchain is Powering Global Payments
