The Fintech Show #135: How can businesses innovate in the face of uncertainty? Unpacking the Global Innovation Report from FIS.

In this episode of the Fintech show we speak to Azriel Chelst VP of FIS Impact Ventures, fintech thought leader and founder of Unconventional Ventures Theodora Lau, and Zak Lambert, Product Leader at Plaid, to unpack the must read FIS Global Innovation Report and reflect on some of the key changes in the fintech industry currently impacting organisational risk. In New York, we heard from co-author Chelst who is perfectly placed to discuss the findings and how businesses can tackle macro risks in order to gain a competitive edge.

From there we jetted over to Nevada to speak to Lau at the Money 20/20 Las Vegas conference, who adds some great insight into the increasing role of AI in financial services, also picking up on the report’s findings around environmental risks. We catch up with Lambert in London, who shares his perspective on the challenges of adopting an innovation strategy and how incumbents and fintechs can move forward. As the FinTech industry continues to evolve, the insights from the Global Innovation Report provide a roadmap for navigating uncertainties and seizing opportunities.
