7 - 8 NOVEMBER 2017 - DUBAI POST-EVENT SUMMARY SPONSORED BY: HOSTED BY: Platinum Sponsor Gold Sponsor Silver Sponsor THE FIRST AND THIRD A YEAR OF RE-BIRTH AN OPEN FUTURE Finastra Universe 2017 was a resounding success, breaking all of our previous records. The attendance at Finastra Universe this year highlights that the regional financial services market is increasingly subscribing to a policy of change, as digital transformation catches up with us. To counter the growing competition seen from new FinTechs, it is becoming critically important for the more traditional financial service instututions to embrace innovative technological solutions, becoming the disruptors rather Wissam Khoury Managing Director than the disrupted. Middle East, Africa & South Asia We are at an inflection point, with the next few years determining the new Finastra financial services landscape; one driven by the dynamic needs of our client-base instead of our competitive environment. Finastra Universe 2017 offered an unparralled exploration of that future, drawing together many of the region’s leading FinTech and banking experts to begin the process of building a roadmap to help us develop the solutions of tomorrow. An evolution of the Misys Connect Forum, Finastra Universe grew from the merger this year of Misys and D+H Insight. Our third annual event and the first of a new breed, our goal was to further the regional conversion on the challenges our market faces and, with over 330 attendees and more than 50 speakers covering the spectrum of financial service instutions, FinTechs and new market incumbents, we’ve laid the groundwork to continue that process as we move into 2018. SNAPSHOT ALL THE KEY FACTS, FIGURES AND STATS Our newly re-branded Finastra Universe event was the largest of our annual events yet, drawing together leaders from across the financial services sector to learn, network and explore the trends and technology shaping our future. 334 109 51 33 Attendees FS Institutions Speakers Countries Seniority Geography Function Interest Angola France Jordan Pakistan Namibia Sri Lanka United Arab Emirates Bahrain Ghana Kenya Russia Nepal Sudan United Kingdom Canada India Kuwait Saudi Arabia Netherlands Switzerland Zimbabwe Egypt Iran Lebanon Singapore Nigeria Tanzania Ethiopia Iraq Libya South Africa Oman Uganda Countries OUR ATTENDEES AN INTERSECTION OF FINANCE AND TECHNOLOGY Our biggest year yet, over 330 attendees joined together to explore the dynamic, open future facing the financial services sector. 01 Systems Dremmwel MEA Jetlink 360 Solutions Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange KAMCO Investment Company K.S.C.
