Event Details

Financial technology, also known as Fintech, is an economic industry composed of companies that use technology to make financial services more efficient. In China, the rapid development of Fintech and Internet finance are well sought after by the capital market, and attracted global attention with their innovative business models, large user group and enormous impact. The large demand for inclusive finance and the regulatory support are driving the boom of Chinese Fintech sector, but there are also risks and challenges reflected by the massive failure of P2P companies in recent years.

AmCham China Financial Services Forum is delighted to invite members to join McKinsey and Tsinghua University PBC School of Finance, and discuss the status quo and future development trends of China’s Fintech and Internet finance in a global context. Nicole Zhou, Associate Principal of McKinsey & Company, will present the key findings in their recent report on China Internet Finance Innovation. Ivy Gao, Director of International Cooperation and Development at Fintech Lab of Tsinghua University, will share their insights comparing Chinese and American Fintech companies, with the introduction of their recent study visit to the US and their Global Fintech Business Model Report. The panel discussion will be moderated by Jianbo Li, Executive Director of JP Morgan and Chair of AmCham Financial Services Forum.

Seats are limited. Please RSVP online to reserve your spot.
