Istanbul TALKS / Fintech - Blockchain Turns into an Industry Practice

Описание: Access to financial services becomes easier as the internet usage and the mobile devices are growing omnipresent. Newly developed internet and mobile based applications for banking, payment systems, accounting processes and capital market transactions have profound effects on systems supporting banks, exchanges, credit card infrastructures and brokerage houses. A form of disruptive innovation is witnessed as the numbers of fintech companies and the users of the applications produced by these companies are growing day by day. Sales volumes and market shares of this market are increasing rapidly against the conventional players as well. With a young population of 49 million internet users, Turkey is a very attractive market for fintech companies.

The number of fintech companies is therefore increasing and the fields they cover are continuously expanding. This conference gathers the leading fintech entrepreneurs and creators to sheds light on new opportunities and to provide a platform for Turkish entrepreneurs to meet with investors and international fintech companies.
