Fintech is a new financial industry that applies technology to improve financial activities. The application of technology to the delivery of financial services enables disruptive innovations that have the potential to redefine the competition in the finance industry at large. Traditional finance firms are pressured to undergo digital transformation as big technology firms and fin-tech start-ups are entering the traditional finance markets with technologically improved financial services.

Each group will tackle one business case related to a real business development challenge, such as how to apply technology to financial services to create innovations and develop new businesses; and how to implement a digital transformation program in a traditional finance firm.
