The UK is a global FinTech leader and a top destination for investment into the sector, setting the pace for innovation in financial services across the globe. Covid-19 has presented the sector with challenges, but also many opportunities, thanks to an acceleration in the pace of digitisation. FinTech is now one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK with wide-scale adoption from industry and consumers, and has a vital role to play in global economic recovery from the pandemic crisis. But with Brexit fast approaching, Innovate Finance CEO Charlotte Crosswell will discuss why we need to ensure our start-ups can scale up and expand internationally to ensure the UK retains its crown long into the future.
