Budapest Fintech Week insights 🔮 We need female role models! Currently, only 13% of leadership roles in the banking sector are held by women, and the percentage is even lower in fintech. That’s why the Women in Tech roundtable discussion was so significant, as women in leadership shared their experiences and thoughts. ⚡ "We live in a world where soft skills matter, and women have an advantage here," emphasized Neha Mehta, founder and CEO of FemTech Partners. "Anyone can be a founder! Anyone! It’s not about what others say about you but what you think of yourself." 💡 "Women are more open, they collaborate more easily and willingly – all of which are assets in the IT sector," shared Mary Alcantara, senior partner at Interactive Venture Partners. She highlighted the unique challenges of working in a competitive industry as a woman compared to a man: "For instance, I left the United States and moved to Europe to start a family. In the U.S., maternity leave is practically nonexistent, while it’s a given in Europe. However, this often means women take on far more household responsibilities, which makes achieving a healthy work-life balance challenging. At the same time, corporate leadership in Europe tends to be more traditional and old-fashioned than across the Atlantic, which isn’t always comfortable for women." 💭 "The only way to change this situation is to have more female role models," said Agnes Szogi, managing partner at Intuitech. She underlined the importance of self-belief: "Women need to believe in themselves and dare to apply for higher positions. Careers are often determined by these pivotal decisions." #BudapestFintechWeek #Fintech #WomeninTech #Innovation

🌟 Insights from Budapest Fintech Week 2024 🌟 Last week at Budapest Fintech Week, our incredible lineup of speakers delved into some of the most pressing shifts in the global financial landscape. Here’s what we learned: 🔄 Hong Kong’s Reinvention: Emil Chan, Co-chair of Hong Kong Digital Finance Association, shared how Hong Kong has evolved from an import-export hub to a global finance hub. He likened the change to Kodak’s journey — disrupted by digital photography — highlighting how fintechs are now reshaping the traditional banking sector. Meanwhile, cities like Singapore and Middle Eastern nations are stepping into Hong Kong’s previous role. 💰 Turkey’s Crypto Revolution: Kutay Yalınkılınç, founder of the Fintech Innovation Hub, shared Turkey’s crypto story. Driven by inflation and economic challenges, the country experienced a massive surge in crypto adoption. This year’s new, business-friendly crypto regulations mark progress, but the lack of unified international standards remains a hurdle for the sector. 🚀 Key Takeaway: The world is shifting—new technologies, economic pressures, and regulatory approaches are reshaping the map of global finance. 💡 Your Turn: What opportunities do you see in these changes? How can we, as a fintech community, stay ahead of the curve? #BudapestFintechWeek #Fintech #GlobalTrends #CryptoRevolution #Innovation #FutureOfFinance
