Talent Readiness = Business Readiness: Building the Next Generation of Fintech Innovation Leaders
In today’s fast-evolving fintech landscape, talent readiness is business readiness. This session brings together leaders from academia, industry, and the innovation ecosystem to explore how professionalising fintech innovators - both within financial institutions and across the broader ecosystem - is key to driving sustainable innovation, trust, and resilience in the sector.
Drawing from a forthcoming Singapore FinTech Talent study and on-the-ground experiences from talent builders and innovators, the panel will unpack the common industry challenges in nurturing and managing a skilled fintech innovation workforce, including:
• The widening talent gap in fintech innovation and what’s driving it.
• The need for structured learning pathways to nurture future-proof professionals in an increasingly accelerated world.
• How frontier technologies are turning digital transformation into a cultural and strategic shift shaping the future of finance.
• Emerging best practices from cross-sector collaboration between the industry, regulators, academic institutions, and ecosystem partners.
Open to strategists, heads of talent and people, innovation leaders, professionals, and students interested in the future of FinTech Innovation talent development.
