IE, one of the leading higher education institutions in the world, would like to invite you to our next Master Class "Transformation of the Financial Services Industry: Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies" with Professor Paolo Giancane.
Blockchain will significantly change the financial services industry by eliminating intermediaries, moving towards what experts suggest as machine-to-machine payments. This masterclass offers an inspiring look at blockchain and how this technology will disrupt many faces of business activity. While facing relevant regulatory scrutiny and more time and investments are needed to develop and foster commercial applications, blockchain is not a temporary trend.
Moreover, a discussion on cryptocurrencies and their inclusion as a new investment asset class will help understand the potential of blockchain.
