FinTech and InsuranceTech case studies digitally transforming Europe’s future with BigData and AI driven innovation

May 14, 2020 . 14:00 – 16:00

FINITECH and BigDataStack joint webinar

The new data-driven industrial revolution highlights the need for big data technologies to unlock the potential in various application domains. The insurance and finance services industry is rapidly transformed by data-intensive operations and applications. FinTech and InsuranceTech combine very large datasets from legacy banking systems with other data sources such as financial markets data, regulatory datasets, real-time retail transactions, and more, improving financial services and activities for customers.

Real-life challenges setting the requirements for BigData solutions

INFINITECH, BigDataStack, and the BDVA Task Force on BigData and AI for Finance join forces in a two-hour webinar on data-driven innovation contributing to Europe’s digital future in Insurance and Finance. The webinar will illustrate the need for digital transformation by defining the requirements of INFINITECH use cases in the financial and insurance service sector. The solutions provided by BigData, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence-driven technologies, developed in the BigDataStack and INFINITECH projects will be presented. Software components of these solutions, already available for reuse in the Insurance and Finance sectors, will be showcased. Participants are invited to take part in the open discussion on the added value and applicability to the wide range of challenges in the Insurance and Finance service sector.
