MaRS FinTech represents Canada at Sibos 2016
MaRS FinTech is on the road! As the Head of Financial Technology at MaRS, I presented a keynote address in Geneva earlier this week on the financial technology landscape in Canada as part of the FinTech Americas session at Sibos, the world’s biggest financial services conference.
Toronto will host Sibos in 2017
With a packed session at Sibos, MaRS, in collaboration with SWIFT and Sibos, announced that the Sibos conference is coming to Toronto in 2017. The 2017 conference agenda will focus on digital banking, artificial intelligence and new financial services.
Together with the Ambassador of Canada to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Jennifer MacIntyre, MaRS and the Canadian federal government also co-hosted an event in Geneva that brought together Canadian FinTech executives, entrepreneurs, and investors focused on global innovation.
Canada is one of the world’s top FinTech destinations, with cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver leading the charge. In fact, Toronto’s financial sector generates billions in fiscal benefits for Canada and is the second largest financial centre in North America.
With what is anticipated to be the largest Sibos event globally in 2017, combined with the growth of MaRS FinTech over the past year, Sibos Toronto 2017 is shaping up to be one of the hottest tickets on the FinTech global circuit next year.
