On November 10, SDK.finance was presenting demo at Bank Innovation Israel 2015 DEMOvation challenge.
Bank Innovation is a great event for all FinTech startups. The event was full of ground-breaking insights and ideas for tech innovators. The main goal of Bank Innovation Israel was bringing together global leaders to discuss the future of FinTech, with a focus on local entrepreneurism.
Speakers at the conference included Vikram Pandit, former CEO, Citigroup; Tom Glocer, former CEO, Reuters; and Ruth Polachek, Head of Citi Accelerator & External Innovation, Innovation Lab, Citi Israel.
Interesting and actual topics were covered there. Bank-Startup collaboration, the challenges with investing in fintech, cybersecurity, big data, fraud and flexibility were the hottest topics.
DEMOvation
During DEMOvation, there were demos of new technologies, as well as startups that won slots in Bank Innovation DEMOvation Challenge, as determined by a team of judges, followed by discussions of the demos and a brainstorm session to cultivate a more dynamic future for banking innovation.
SDK.finance was one of these new startups. We were presenting our demo in front of more than 350 attendees of Bank Innovation Israel at the Dan Tel Aviv on Nov 10.
