Why attend?

Diversity in the workplace is critical to ensuring fintech companies stay ahead of the curve.

Research shows the most gender and ethnically diverse organisations are able to achieve higher revenues, attract better talent and be more innovative as they are more likely to cater to a more diverse audience and develop products that meet their needs.

It is however still an untapped opportunity for many fintech companies and indeed diverse groups who are themselves looking for support for their companies.

This webinar will explore what is happening in Scotland’s fintech sector and how encouraging inclusion and advancement in this traditionally white male-led sector could give your company benefits in terms of talent and profitability.

Questions to ask: Why have women, black, asian or other ethnic minorities not traditionally found their way into the sector? What is Scotland doing to promote the sector to these groups? Are there financial solutions to help support these groups?

 

Key Learning Objectives:

 

  • Explore the gender/ ethnic/ disability gap and discuss solutions
  • Discover market investment opportunities
  • Discover Scotland as a key location for unlocking competitive advantage
  • Identify potential new suppliers and sources of innovation
