On this week’s Fintech Insider Insights, we’re bringing you something a little bit different!

Our CEO, David M. Brear, recently headed to the Point Zero Forum in Zurich, where he moderated a panel all about AI innovation - and what it takes for countries to stay competitive in this space.

Hope you enjoy it!
