Fintech and Commerce Summit \u2013 Tuesday 25 November – Falcon Stage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200b<\/span><\/span>Session 1 – The Power of Fintech Innovation | 14:45-15:45<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The “Power of Fintech Innovation” session will delve into the current and future challenges in the fintech landscape, with insights <\/span>from industry experts.<\/span> The rapid advancements in cloud computing, AI, 5G, new platform models leveraging APIs, and regulatory <\/span>changes, are driving competition, lowering market entry costs, and enabling innovative fintech solutions to launch and scale quickly. <\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for seamless, mobile-first digital experiences is driving the adoption of <\/span>superapps<\/span>. By 2027, it is predicted that over 50% of the <\/span>global population will be daily active users of <\/span>superapps <\/span>(1). Digital wallets have <\/span>revolutionised<\/span> commerce and payments, accounting for 50% <\/span>of global e-commerce expenditure, which amounts to $3.1 trillion (2). Insurtech is presenting a $2.5 trillion embedded insurance opportunity (3).<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session will also explore how digital assets are being integrated into mainstream commerce. The rise in scam and fraud attacks poses a <\/span>threat to trust, necessitating innovative solutions to verify the digital identities of consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session 2 – The Rise of Mobile-Driven Commerce: Trends and Opportunities | 16:15-17:15<\/span><\/span>  <\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Join us as we explore “The Rise of Mobile-Driven Commerce: Trends and Opportunities,” focusing on key trends and <\/span>growth opportunities.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile wallet-based payment solutions have surged, offering unparalleled convenience and disrupting e-commerce and point-of-sale (POS) systems. This has led to new value propositions for both merchants and consumers, reducing reliance on cash. Interoperability and frictionless cross-border payments are now key areas of focus. <\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative lending, powered by Mobile Network Operator (MNO) data, is rapidly growing, supporting the expansion of <\/span>micro businesses previously excluded from lending.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juniper Research forecasts retail expenditure via conversational commerce will grow to $43 billion by 2028, up from $11.4 <\/span>billion in 2023(4). AI-powered chatbots, live chat, and RCS messaging will enhance user experiences, deepen <\/span>personalisation<\/span>, and increase conversion rates and Net Promoter Scores (NPS). The Creator Economy is projected to also <\/span>grow to $480 billion by 2027, driven by approximately 50 million individual creators(5).<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hear from our expert partners as we uncover the trends and opportunities shaping the future of mobile-driven commerce.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
