Launch of the Centre for Financial Technology (FinTech) Studies
Join us at this special event to launch the Centre for Financial Technology (FinTech) Studies at Alliance Manchester Business School.
Hear from members of the new Centre for Financial Technology (FinTech) Studies at Alliance Manchester Business School and an expert panel at this special event.
The Centre will create meaningful synergies and research collaborations between the University and financial institutions, technology firms and regulators, that will push the boundaries of research and knowledge dissemination in the financial services sector.
Our primary aim is to create a platform that will facilitate a two-way dialogue between academia and practice in order to pursue high-quality and inter-disciplinary research in the field of financial technology. Bringing scholars from various fields across the University together, we will make relevant academic research known to practitioners and translate findings to financial services and the FinTech industry as a whole. In bringing academia and industry together, we aim to develop practical solutions to the needs and challenges faced by the financial technology industry in order to make a tangible impact.
