Roundtable


Heal the world –Il Fintech per un mondomigliore
"Heal the world, make it a better place/For you and for me and the entire human race."

The number of fintech and techfin companies focusing on social and environmental issues to make the world a better place is growing. They operate at the intersection of finance and technology, incorporating social and ecological inclusion in the design, development, and implementation of fintech services, which provide financial services more accessible to people and small businesses that would otherwise be excluded. Sustainability is not only in products and solutions. We must also ask ourselves: how many fair and rightful opportunities are we giving to women and minorities?

EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY TO WORK
”Please remember people, that no matter who you are / And what you do to live, thrive and survive / There are still some things that make us all the same / You, me, them, everybody”
What makes us all the same? The necessity to work with someone, to find synergies and areas of collaboration. This is valid for CFOs and Treasury Managers, too. But what do they really need to progress? What are the main things fintech and techfin companies can do for them?

WHAT’S GOING ON IMPACT
A speech about impact: not because it is fashionable but because sustainability is crucial. Fintech solutions can generate a positive impact and govern it with monitoring and measurability principles intrinsic to their nature. Until a few years ago, the concept of economic impact didn't match the environmental and social one: today, companies must overcome this dichotomy, and fintech can support this process.
