The Future of Finance in a Liquid Environment

Join us for a Masterclass with Pablo Soler Bach (full bio below), lecturer at IE, and consultant and advisor to corporations and start-ups who is going to share with us, "The Future of Finance in a Liquid Environment".

The exceptional circumstances of a pandemic, with more than three billion people quarantined for weeks or months over the globe, will have a significant impact in all aspects of our lives, and it will be particularly noticeable in sectors like Finance and New Technologies.

Investors are becoming more cautious, generating increased uncertainty for Fintech projects that have high cash burn rates, such as Neo-banks, those depending on accurate risk assessment, such as niche or specialised lenders, or those that become suddenly, albeit temporarily, unnecessary, such as car insurance.

Some sectors will have to rethink their business models, and others will have a unique opportunity to grow or become mainstream, such as biometric payments, as people change the way they pay for goods and services, or roboadvisory, as the way we invest evolves, becoming more educated and socially conscious.

As said by Churchill, "never waste a good crisis".
