Fintech chiefs to debate UK’s digital future in Parliament

Fintech industry leaders will gather in Parliament this month to discuss the future of the UK’s digital economy.

The Digital Economy summit, organised by the Parliament Street think tank and hosted by former business minister Dean Russell MP, will include discussions around the importance of the fintech industry in driving business growth and empowering infrastructure. It will be chaired by Steven George-Hilley, founder of Centropy PR, and take place at 6.30pm in the Houses of Parliament on Monday 22nd May.

Panellists will also discuss the challenges facing the industry such as regulating AI technologies, the risks posed by cyber crime and combatting fake online reviews.

Key speakers include Chris Downie, founder of fraud detection platform, Pasabi, Steven Mooney, founder and CEO of business investment firm FundMyPitch, George Saunders, Director of Digital, Bordeaux & Burgundy, Khalid Talukder, co-founder, DKK Partners, and Fraser Stewart, co-founder, Lyfeguard.

The event comes following recent research from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) revealing increased confidence in UK firms, with tech companies ranking top. However, the report also warned of ‘dark clouds’ on the horizon, due to surging inflation and global economic uncertainty.
