For many technology leaders in Fintech, keeping pace with the speed of digital change is a top priority. With increased pressure to drive forward digital innovation and build an organisation that is fit for the future, figuring out how to speed up the process is becoming the new battle ground.

However, with businesses weighed down by the shortage of skilled developers, technical debt, organisational resistance to change and the high costs associated with digital transformation, it's not hard to see why leaders are struggling to make the boat go faster. 

Join us as we dive into the latest innovations in the Google Cloud offering, with a specific focus on how Fintech businesses can facilitate better, faster and more efficient digital development. 

Joined by experts from Google, Monzo will share their story on how they accelerated their innovation journey, paving the way for other Fintech leaders. Behavioural psychologist Charlotte De Jong will share how to unlock hidden performances within your team to get your organisation prepared for the change that AI will bring and preparing you for the demands of the digital era.
