European Digital Finance Conference’s Post

I co-facilitated and designed this workshop at Si Finance Hub where we gathered around problems around the financial system and how it can be met with systems innovation. My interests within the financial system are: - How can financial resources be a force for bringing momentum to bring actors together and work on a shared problem? - How can financial resources be one of many resources used to reduce 'tragedy of the commons' when no-one takes responsibility of a shared problem? - How can measuring systems change complement the assessment of cost-effectiveness? 🌟

What do you see in this picture? Huge congratulations to Elite Business Live for delivering the two-day business growth conference this week at St. Paul's in London. I was privileged to join Allyson Stewart-Allen, Garima Srivastava, and Kim Antoniou under the watchful eye of host Hannah Prevett on a mid-afternoon panel. The challenge for the panel, which my fellow panellists handled brilliantly was about how best to approach international expansion. Some of the key takeaways included 👉🏿 research is critical and there have never been such rich resources available, for free, online, and now augmented through AI agents, 👉🏿 investigate national and regional support, not only for funding but also to provide access to networks, 👉🏿 trust is key, focus efforts on identifying a local partners, supporters, champions, 👉🏿 forget our natural "British reserve" and don't hesitate to reach out and ask for help, 👉🏿 invest in understanding your legal responsibilities in markets, 👉🏿 be ready to adapt to different cultures and customs - it's great fun! 👉🏿 utilise diaspora networks to access in-country support (can't remember which panelist came up with this idea :) 👉🏿 and my favourite "It’s not about translation, it’s about transcreation" A tremendous event, a great venue, with very strong networking and exactly the right people in the room. The sessions were recorded and will be available in the near future so all can benefit from the highly valuable content shared on the day. But let's return to the picture, and my question, "What do you see?". As this is my article I'll share my own thoughts and leave you to add your own in the comments below. I see a lineup of business professionals on a stage, surely an everyday occurrence across our business world. I have sat on literally hundreds of such stages across the world and shared my insight into a myriad of subjects. But this picture is unique in my business life and one I am very proud to appear in. Can you guess why? When you are participating in a panel it's of course not possible to capture the key points made by your fellow panellists as you are too focused on listening and waiting for the opportunity to respond to the debate. Hence I am hugely grateful to Aldo Mancini who not only took this picture but also captured the key points from the discussion. #EBL2024 #globalconnections #export

It was fantastic to connect with industry experts on event-driven architecture (EDA) powered by Solace. The rise of EDAs in cloud-native environments is a shift from traditional architectures that store static data in repositories (like data lakes) to a dynamic approach that tracks data flow. #DataEngineering #BigData #DataManagement #ScalableSolutions #DataScience #TechTrends

In-person meetings are invaluable for individuals, businesses, and communities. They foster education and understanding on critical topics while significantly benefiting local economies by injecting revenue and stimulating activity for small businesses. As we mark Global Meetings Industry Day today, let's remind our congressional leaders why #MeetingsMatter. These gatherings, be they business meetings, exhibitions, conventions, or trade shows, fortify our communities and bolster economies nationwide. #GMID2024 @MeetingsMeanBusiness, U.S. Travel Association
