Fintech Bridge: UK sends large Fintech delegation to Australia for SIBOS, Intersekt
The UK Department for International Trade, along with the Prime Minister’s Fintech Ambassador Al Lukies, are heading to Australia as part of the “GREAT Britain showcase.” The group will be participating in Sibos 2018 taking place in Sydney. According to the UK government, the delegation’s aim is to identify and develop business opportunities with potential Australian partners.
After a week in Sydney, the UK Fintech delegation will head to Melbourne for the Intersekt Fintech Festival an event hosted by EY and FinTech Australia.
The past March, the UK-Australia Fintech Bridge was created to increase trade between the two countries while reducing regulatory barriers and enabling alignment on policy frameworks.
During Sibos week, the UK Department for International Trade will host an “Open Banking” panel on opportunities for Australian and UK business and benefits for consumers. The panel will feature experts from the Open Banking community, including Jamie Campbell of Bud, a Fintech that is helping to change the face of banking.
Another panel at Sibos will explore the future of Fintech and the headline issues likely to dominate over the next 12 months.
