What the FinTech? | S.5 Episode 14 | Investment trends and the future of UK fintech
In the latest episode of the What the FinTech? podcast, we’re joined by Janine Hirt, CEO of UK-based independent industry body Innovate Finance, to discuss global fintech funding trends over 2024 and what the future might hold for the UK’s fintech scene.
Janine and FinTech Futures editor Paul Hindle discuss some of the key takeaways from Innovate Finance’s H1 2024 FinTech Investment Landscape report, including which areas are seeing the most funding activity amid a global “economic slowdown” and whether sentiment in the space is looking positive moving forward.
We also discuss what the new Labour government in the UK can do to help fintech flourish, taking a closer look at Innovate Finance’s recently published Fintech Plan for Government, which lists a number of proposals that it says could add £328 billion to the UK economy.
And finally, we find out what fintech buzzwords Janine wants to free from our Fintech Jail!
