Harnessing innovation in the finance sector requires executives prepared to make bold strategic decisions.
Since the global financial crisis, developments in technology and regulation have combined to create the perfect environment for innovation.
Payments firms, exchanges, collateral registries, credit bureaus, and other market infrastructure organisations must recognise and address these changes to protect and increase market share.
Growing regulatory pressures around transparency, liquidity and risk management have created a need for financial technologies that allow intelligent decisions to be made quickly, drawing together back office and middle office operations. Capital adequacy regulation has driven front-office business restructuring and the search for infrastructure efficiencies.
This new economic environment requires innovative and analytical leaders to transform existing technologies and incubate the next generation of financial technology firms.
Luxembourg has positioned itself as a world leader in the sphere of digital financial services and become a financial technology hub. The FinTech sector has diversified into an ecosystem engaged in mobile and e-payments, automated investment services, big data and analytics etc.
Furthermore, Luxembourg is emerging as a significant base for start-ups who can combine private funding with public funding schemes for research, development and innovation.
At Odgers Berndtson Luxembourg, we help clients attract innovative and analytical leaders to redefine the way technology is used in the financial services sector.
