Financial Futures

Very often, fintechs and other financial institutions don't have the time or resources to develop innovations when they present themselves, meaning opportunities go unrealized. So if organizations want to develop new capabilities, they can't just leave it to chance and hope that someone else will create the breakthrough service or product they've been looking for - they need to do it themselves. Join us, along with CEO of Shipyard Innovation, Ash Bhatia, and VP of Venture Studio Investments at FIS, James Clayton as we find out why the venture studio model is a recipe for building successful businesses and why inorganic business building is the future of startup success.
