New social “economies” are emerging, emerged, driven by massive waves of cultural and political change, and accelerated by powerful technologies, such as blockchain, 5G, the Internet of Things, big data, AI, automation and XR. These new economies include: the sharing economy, the entire economy, the doughnut economy, the social credit economy, the personal economy, the metaverse economy, and the micro credit economy. Now the question is, in times where the average half-life of a Fortune 500 company is just 15 years, what can financial firms do to harness the potential of these emerging economies without being swept away by the changes? In this talk, we unpack the future of the financial industry and explains the most important trends and technologies set to impact on the sector in the coming months and years. The aim is to give business leaders the actionable insights required to navigate the next season of disruption.
