We were lucky enough to have the Lord Mayor of London, Alderman Peter Estlin open the Fintech World event as part of London Technology week on 14th June 2019. The event co-hosted with Rise created by Barclays, looked to showcase the fintech ecosystems from three key geographies around the world, USA, Middle East and India.
After the Lord Mayor had opened the event, we asked a friend of The Fintech Power 50, Karan Jain to sit down with the Lord mayor and ask him about his views on the fintech ecosystem in London.
