Edgardo Savoy, Chief Technology Officer, TransferGo

The FinTech sector contributed £6.5 billion to the UK economy last year. But FinTech faces a battle to onboard and develop talent in line with growth and demand. It is critical that issues such as the digital skills gap, talent retention and diversity are addressed before the UK FinTech sector begins to lose ground in innovation.
