COURSE OUTLINEABOUT HANNES
BIBLIOGRAPHYHARBOUR.SPACE 
The financial and insurance industries are key for a functioning world economy. However, the financial and insurance industry as we know it is undergoing rapid change and the pace of change will increase more rapidly. New entrants (Amazon, Apple, WeChat, Telegram etc.) are attacking the century-old business model of existing financial services players.
We will continue discussing these industries, disruption and new technologies. We will revisit the business cases we had analysed at Fintech/Insurtech I, deepen our ecosystem approach through concrete examples, look into alternative ways of approaching the financial market opportunity and connect to industry veterans and disruptors.
