The Integration of Fintech, AI and SaaS In our Founder Institute Hong Kong – ASEAN eco system we are running four verticals this year in Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, Healthtech & Web3. In these verticals we supplement the Core Program with relevant, industry specific knowledge, unlike the industry agnostic Local Chapters that focus on the business development only. I run the ASEAN Fintech and was updating my specific sessions there, just recently. What I discovered is that the linkages are very strong between Fintech and AI and SaaS. I guess AI and SaaS are what we call ‘enabling technologies’ and as financial markets are about intangibles and data, these enabling technologies are very important. To highlight this ‘connect’, on Tuesday 16 April at 19.00 Hong Kong time we are holding a virtual event with three panelists that will look at this connect from a different angle: · Ben Stein, Co-Founder & CEO of Staple.io will talk about how his SaaS offering is becoming core to many large financial institutions to standardize their data, which is essential for effective integration and reporting · Ryan Manuel, Founder & CEO of Bilby.ai will talk about how his AI offering has become key in both research and compliance in large financial institutions · Gaetan Gosset, formerly part of the senior management at Euroclear and now a private entrepreneur and investor, will talk about the applications of AI and financial markets operations I have been in the financial markets, either as an industry participant or academic, for forty years. I have found the change that technology has made to our financial markets in the last decade profound. I have learned a lot speaking with these three industry leaders and welcome you to join our session next Tuesday. Registration is free for this virtual event. 😉 #fintech #ai #saas #founderinstitute Ivan Germanov Laurent Koehler DrWarren LINGER Dr Francois Fong Ryan Manuel Ben Stein Gaetan Gosset Vitaly Gnatenko Leon Eisen, PhD 💡Jonathan Nguyen Register: https://fi.co/e/341552

Who’s next ? 👀 Sifted looked through DealRoom data to find out which French startups are likely to become the 12 next Unicorns. Guess what? Pasqal is one of the 12 🏆 How did we end up here 🧐 ?

Reflecting on 25 years in the industry, it's evident that while technology commercialisation and achieving 'product-market fit' is tough for any startup, it is exponentially more difficult for deep-tech startups and those developing solutions based on deep tech. Not only is this only one of the highest-risk areas in the startup world but it also seems to be the least well-served in terms of support and information. DeepTech Commercialisation is a new focused initiative aimed at meeting the specific needs of deep-tech innovators with tailored support and also templated approaches to help navigate the unique challenges of this sector. Join us as we bridge the gap and offer insights and resources for success in the deep-tech ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/eAcBrN7z #deeptech #startup #productmarketfit #technologycommercialization
