Neobanks are increasingly taking over the financial industry. Over 50 new Neobanks are established every year, and the market is expected to reach $578 billion by 2027. But whilst there are success stories like Wise, Monzo, and Chime that are valued at billions of dollars, less than 5% percent of the world’s 400 Neobanks have turned a profit. How can Neobanks remain relevant in the face of big banks offering highly digital product options? Which operational models and revenue-driving mechanisms drive profitability? How to deliver global growth amid contrasting global regulations? And how will the entry of GAFA brands – Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon – impact the market?

The next era of ad tech is about user consent. The rise of the “opt-out” and “reject all” buttons has left publishers, brands, tech platforms, and agencies scratching their heads.

Long-established vendors are losing in importance, new technologies have sprung up, and it’s not clear how advertisers will navigate the landscape after third-party cookie deprecation. How are industry leaders reshaping their consumer targeting strategies? How are they preparing for a cookie-less future?

Panel: Shining a Light on Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship (Eng)
Women in tech have been the subject of global goals, discussions, and debates for many decades. But while there has been significant progress over the years, women leave the tech industry at a 45% higher rate than men and the percentage of women in working in the tech fields was higher in the 1980s compared to today. And while female-founded and female-led startups are becoming more commonplace, they still only account for a small fraction of startups worldwide. What is needed to close the digital gender gap? How can women entrepreneurs be empowered to shape the digital future? And if diversity is critical in tech, what is the impact of gender disparity in the advancement of ICT?
