Building the best fintech ecosystems takes more than luck. And while predicting which startups will become scaleup successes is almost impossible, designing ecosystems with the right balance of components can make sure the winning formula becomes a repeatable one. In this exclusive session Simon Hardie, founder and CEO of findexable's Global Fintech Index rankings takes us through their ecosystem ranking process and highlights what makes the great ecosystems stand out from the merely good.

This discussion highlights groundbreaking innovations that are reshaping traditional finance, such as blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), and tokenization of assets. It also explores the crucial role of interoperability in creating a seamless financial ecosystem where diverse digital assets can interact and coexist across platforms and regulatory environments. As we navigate this evolving terrain, the focus remains on how these developments can drive efficiency, inclusivity, and resilience within the financial sector.
