During the event, two reports will be presented: one on “Regional Market insights on Alternative Finance Activities”, which can be found here; and on “FinTech regulation in the MENA region”, including mapping of innovation offices and regulatory sandboxes, which can be found here.
The event constitutes an opportunity to showcase the work of the Euro-MED and MENA region Centre, and discuss with relevant stakeholders its next research milestones.
The Euro-MED and MENA region Centre was established following the signing of a research collaboration agreement in November 2021 between the EUC School of Business Administration and the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF), a research centre of the Judge Business School, University of Cambridge. The aim is to accelerate tech-enabled financial innovation, and to create, exchange and transfer knowledge needed by policy makers, regulators and industry to navigate the digital transformation of the region’s financial system.
