DCU’s First Symposium on Capital Markets and Fintech

The recently established Finance Innovation Group at Dublin City University will host its inaugural quarterly symposium on Capital Markets and Fintech at DCU Alpha on Tuesday, 28th February.

Over 100 stakeholders operating in the financial services and technology sectors are expected to attend the one-day event to explore the future of banking, high frequency trading, cybersecurity and legal considerations for fintech, and the opportunities and challenges for cloud adoption in the sector.

Comprising researchers from the Irish Centre for Cloud Computing and Commerce (IC4) and members of DCU Business School, the Finance Innovation Group at DCU was set up to support the Irish financial services industry on areas such as sustainable finance, capital markets, risk management, applied econometrics, corporate governance, cybersecurity and financial technology.

Presentations and panel discussions from leading industry and academic speakers will provide insight into the financial services and Fintech landscape and will focus on the opportunities and challenges presented by;
