Fintech Growth and Innovation

Fintech Scotland recognizes the crucial relationship between large financial institutions and small, agile fintech firms looking for solutions to the significant global challenges, thrown up by the pace of technological and regulatory change, such as open banking and cyber security. It is often recognised that there is need for large financial institutions to “behave like start-ups” and to drive intrapreneurship across their own teams; ensuring innovation is also coming from within and to have the broad eco-system of industry, start-ups and academia all working together to solve the many global financial challenges, more rapidly.

Fintech talent being developed is a significant opportunity for Scotland; it’s not just about having academic knowledge, data management and digital skills, it’s applying them in a commercial environment which will deliver results to the bottom line whilst driving shareholder returns, economic growth for Scotland and increasing employment with sophisticated and high paid jobs. It comes back to a joined up approach to collaboration, between financial services, academia, industry, start-ups, investors and the regulatory networks.
