Member Event: FIG Annual Conference

Data, digitalisation and disruption – reimagining the financial services industry

Emerging technology is having a major influence on the financial services industry. Fintech ‘disrupters’ are entering the market and driving innovation across the sector from banking to insurance services. Whether it’s the implementation of intelligent AI powered decision-making platforms, machine learning systems which enhance fraud detection, or contract reading software for legal services, technology is continuing to change apace.

FIG recognises the influence of FinTech in shaping the future of the sector and at this event we will explore the latest trends and innovations in technology and how the financial sector can respond to these advances to maintain competitive advantage.

The Financial Industry Group (FIG Norwich) is a partnership of leading firms, local government and higher education. FIG aims to develop a thriving cluster in Norwich that is recognised internationally as a centre of excellence for insurance, financial and professional services.
