SRC in collaboration with The Fintech Corridor is delighted to take part in the Irish Funds Emerging Tech & Innovation Speaker Series. We were able to deep dive into the requirements that drive the advancements in the fintech industry both north and south of the border and the changes in focus of this sector where technology and finance intersect. A panel discussed the latest industry and academic trends, and all attending were able to network with industry and academic partners to gain valuable insights to stay ahead in the game.

The Fintech Corridor also spoke on how it works to drive, develop, facilitate and promote innovation, scaling and growth of FinTech companies in the region.

Louise O'Hare from First Derivative spoke on how FD employees bridge the skills gap through their capital markets training programme; their life long learning culture, Assured Skills Academies and Higher Level Apprenticeship programmes with SRC.

It was great to see 16 of SRC's HLA and part-time Fintech students in attendance as we look to help prepare a talent pipeline for the future.
