On 19 July 2019, DFDL is organizing a special morning seminar on developments in the Cambodian financial technology (“Fintech”) industry in Phnom Penh at the Rosewood Hotel.
Fintech is a sector with huge growth potential in a country where access to advanced telecommunications and the internet is rapidly increasing. Across many rural areas in Cambodia, a large proportion of the inhabitants remain ‘unbanked’ yet still have smartphones and internet access.
The opportunities to extend Fintech services throughout the country, create new markets, and make the lives of such people better are therefore enormous.
Moderated by DFDL Senior Consultant Kooithong Lai, our expert speakers Nearirath Sreng, DFDL Senior Consultant, Martina Brezinova, Kinstellar Counsel and Vinay Ahuja, DFDL Partner and Head of Regional Banking & Finance Practice will provide an overview of Fintech in Cambodia and the lucrative prospects this sector holds.
The Fintech experience of nearby jurisdictions will be discussed along with the lessons they offer for Cambodia as this area continues to grow.
Please reserve your place for this event not to be missed. Buffet Breakfast will be served throughout the event.
